Cross Culturalism on Long Island: Photo Exhibition Opening Showcases Vibrant Diversity

The opening of our “Cross Culturalism on Long Island” photo exhibition at Nesconset Library on May 10, 2015, was a tremendous success! The theme of the exhibition was “Beautiful Taiwan.” We would like to express our gratitude to the incredibly talented performers and calligraphers who showcased their skills.
