NUMU ARTNow AWARDS CEREMONY 2022 / BRAVE NEW WORLDS
Brave New Worlds marks 11 years of the ArtNow Annual Juried High School Exhibition and two years since the beginning of the global pandemic. As we all continue to push forward amidst an era of disharmony and disorder, NUMU prompted students to be bold in their visions of hope, equality, justice, and change. The artwork represented in this year’s exhibition highlights the capacity of youth to observe social changes at a deep individual and collective level.
This year, over 580 unique artwork entries were submitted by students, of which 79 are on view. These works represent students from 26 high schools across Santa Clara County, and a diverse range of topics including the impact of technology on daily life, environmentalism, space exploration, freedom of gender expression, and political activism. Today’s youth are the builders and leaders of tomorrow. We hope that this year’s exhibition can inspire us all to dream of a brave new world.

RADIANT LIGHT AT EASTFIELD MING QUONG / RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY
This day marked a community celebration to rededicate the entrance of the Los Gatos Ming Quong Home with a brand new symbolic gateway arch and plaque. This beautiful new archway will keep the memory and history of Ming Quong, which means Radiant Light, alive forever.
Along with this rededication, listen to the stories of several accomplished women who were residents of Ming Quong in the fifties. This new archway highlights the very important history with the same height and breadth that welcomed over 400 Chinese, Chinese Americans and Bi-racial girls and later boys to their new Ming Quong home.
