The Wing Luke hosted their annual dinner and auction on Saturday, March 23, raising over $315,000 for their educational and public programs. Over 500 people attended the event, which was hosted by Teresa Yuan of KING 5 and held at the Seattle Sheraton. The event featured both live and silent auctions, featuring dozens of items donated by local restaurants, community members, artists, and organizations.
In the next year, the Wing plans to present eight new community-driven exhibitions, one special exhibition, and 75 Asian and Pacific American artists through exhibitions and special events. (end)
