Hudson Street Gallery

When Reggie Wong heard that a new gallery had suddenly (and I do mean suddenly) opened on Hudson Street, he snuck away from his work managing the August Moon Festival and rushed over to greet us. Here you see Reggie proudly standing in front of a younger version of himself taken from before half of the homes on Hudson Street south of Kneeland were torn down for the expressway.

Reggie’s reaction to the gallery was similar to others we’ve seen when they hear about us. Chinatown needs something fresh, but also something that looks proudly back on our heritage our friends in the neighborhood have said. I hope HSG has helped deliver some of that medicine.

Zookeepers and Economists like photography too! Here, guests Jake and Becky admire a photograph by Jason Liu. Both of these pictures were submitted by Brian Matiash, who’s photos are also on display at the HSG.

We hope to see you all again at our Grand Opening on the 6th!
