The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents Winter Festival celebrates 2025, the Lunar Calendar Year of the Snake, associated with wisdom, intuition, and transformation. The festival will begin with a welcome to the campus by MFAH and AAPI community members, and will feature music and dance performances by Taiko Drummers with Kaminari Taiko of Houston, K-pop dancers presented by Han Narea, and the North America Youth Chinese Orchestra.
There will be food from a variety of Asian cultures available for purchase from Dumpling Haus, Chi’lantro, Mama Marie’s Filipino Soul Food, Pudgy’s Fine Cookies, The Boba Cart, and Cafe Leonelli at MFAH. Sponsor H-E-B will provide complimentary mandarins and water to guests.
Families can engage in art-making activities with museum artists and community organizations like the Japan America Society of Houston. They can create an illustrated wooden plaque called anema, design a snake-inspired bookmark to be used all year, and make a firecracker using sparkling and colorful cellophane.
Visitors can also explore the Museum’s galleries throughout the afternoon for free and follow the scavenger hunt, Objects of Renewal, to the Arts of Asia and Indonesian Gold galleries, where they will find art that celebrates the spirit of the snake and how it ushers in a new year.
