Galeria Clarion 

Art, Heritage & CommUNITY.  - Kevin Lu

Galeria Clarion presents a visual exhibit of Kevin Lu's journey, from fine arts to design to branding.

The museum pays tribute to the vibrant nightclub scene in San Francisco Chinatown during the 1950’s and 60’s.

 

Beautiful headdresses, costumes and other memorabilia from that enchanting era are displayed permanently in the underground alcove of Clarion Performing Arts Center. Open to visitors!
