Limited edition commemorative artwork designed by Wongface and laser cut from walnut for Pittsburgh's Chinatown.
As early as 1874, there has been a Chinese community in Pittsburgh. The city’s original Chinatown was one of the earliest Chinese settlements recorded in an Eastern U.S. city. Today, all that remains of historic Pittsburgh Chinatown are the two buildings on Third Avenue: The venerable, pagoda-trimmed Chinatown Inn Restaurant and... 協勝公會, The local Hip-Sing Association branch.

After 12 years of perseverance and overcoming rejection, the official recognition of Pittsburgh’s Chinatown as a historic landmark was granted. This could not happen without Marian Lien and OCA Pittsburgh.
Was an honor to help with this project as well as collaborate with an artist we've admired for years. ⚡️
