Helen Z.
Review for Chinese Cultural & Arts Institute, Harrisburg, PA, USA
I have been with CCAI for the past 12 years and it has opened so many doors for me. CCAI was basically my second home. I took classes almost everyday and i loved the staff there. All my instructors were experts in their field and always encouraged me to keep going.
I love chinese culture and from the start, i knew CCAI would teach me more than just chinese culture. I took chinese dance, language, and painting classes with CCAI and even though i am in college now, i still go back to them during my breaks to continue to do what i love to do. Being a National Endowment of the Arts recipient for chinese painting, i can say that CCAI and their teachers has taught me so much about chinese painting. I went from not knowing how to even hold a brush to painting extravagant landscapes. I always loved art, but never have i thought i would be an NEA recipient. Through CCAI's ongoing encouragement and the help of the staff, i am now even more excited to continue my work and give back to the community everything this great organization has taught me.
