LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and the Discovery Children’s Museum continues to celebrate diverse cultures.
This last week of May is the last week of events, engaging presentations, art activities and storytelling around the Asian and Pacific Island countries, from the islands of the Philippines to China, Japan and the Samoan Islands.
This week’s celebration focuses on the Polynesian island of Samoa. Samoan artist Kuulei Jakubczak is among the instructors who teach guests how to design a radial pattern, like the traditional Samoan art form Siapo. It is one of the oldest Samoan cultural art forms and involves creating patterns on tree bark or tapa.
The Discovery Children’s Museum is celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month through the end of May. Visit this link for more programming information.
