Yue Moon is a community-based, multimedia public art program as part of Chinatown’s 2021 Lunar New Year celebration.
Led by artists PUFF Paddy and Winnie Truong, supported by the STEPS Initiative in partnership with the Chinatown BIA, Yue Moon brings people together for a luminous experience — an escape from the darkness and cold of winter through collaborative art-making culminating in a public exhibition animating the streets of Chinatown in February 2021.
Two opportunities to get involved:
- PUFF Paddy will facilitate five (5) online lantern workshops from January 12-23, 2021. Participants will work alongside PUFF Paddy contributing to the visual motif of this year’s lantern design; celebrating the Year of the Ox through storytelling, drawing and mixed media approaches, leading to the production of site-specific lantern installations. This an intergenerational project open for members of the Chinatown community and beyond.

- Winnie Truong will facilitate a five-session online animation workshop series starting the week of December 21, 2020 introducing participants to illustration and stop-motion animation techniques to reflect on personal, cultural, and historical themes tied to the Lunar New Year, resulting in collaborative animation and public art projection. This is an intergenerational project open for members of the Chinatown community and beyond.
