Lunar New Year—also known as Chinese Chunjie, Vietnamese Tet, Korean Solnal, Tibetan Losar as well as Spring Festival—is an Asian tradition commemorated around the globe and here in San Jose. At downtown’s Museum of Art, the Year of the Tiger will be welcomed by live performances from breathtaking Korean dance artist KCC Urisawe and the acrobatic Rising Phoenix Lion Dance Association. Museum access is free for the day, giving visitors a chance to take in exhibitions like Hito Steyerl’s mesmerizing Factory of the Sun. Online visual art-making tutorials kick off at noon.
