Wong’s colorful paintings amplify the diversity of her Asian heritage and the vibrant family histories of the AAPI women depicted in them. Under her playful mural\, titled Calling Home\, this lively event will explore rituals of community care with Wong and OMCA’s community partners Cut Fruit Collective and Teaphile.  \n\n\n\nEnjoy a traditional Gongfu tea ceremony while choosing from an assortment of fun activities\, including ‘make a wish’ origami\, handmade elder care cards\, and kite decorating. Visitors will be invited to write hopeful messages on beautifully designed cards and paper hearts to be distributed to seniors in Chinatown and Little Saigon.  \n\n\n\nThis event is a part of our feature programming for Ancestral Visions\, on view through February 2026\, and is made possible by the Harker Fund Artist Residency Program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Chelsea Ryoko Wong\n\n\n\nChelsea Ryoko Wong (b. 1986\, Seattle\, WA) is a painter and muralist known for vibrant\, joyful celebrations of community\, ritual\, and seasonality. Inspired by Northern California and international travels\, the scenes in Wong’s paintings are infused with fantasy\, humor\, and imagination.

She is the first recipient of the Hamaguchi Emerging Artists Fellowship award at Kala Art Institute\, Berkeley and was a 2022 finalist for SFMOMA’s esteemed SECA Art Award.

She has completed large-scale mural projects in San Francisco at Asana; La Cocina; Facebook Artist in Residence Program; and the Asian Art Museum.

Her work has been acquired by institutional and private collections including the de Young\, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; Crocker Art Museum\, Sacramento\, CA\, and Bolinas Museum\, CA.
