National Cambodian Heritage Museum and Killing Fields Memorial

11/14/2024

Help preserve our traditional arts heritage today!

This January 6-9, Master Yary Livan, one of only two Master Cambodian Ceramists alive, will visit the NCHM to pass on traditional carving legacies to local residents through pottery workshops, a pop up shop and soft exhibition of student work leading up to the 50th Anniversary of the Day of Remembrance in April. This is a rare opportunity to learn from a master artist!

We need your help to make this program a reality.

Can we count on you to help preserve carving legacies by donating or sharing this fundraiser?

The funds will be used for

Master Yary Livan’s artist stipend
Materials for the workshops, pop ups, and exhibit

This programming is sponsored in part by a grant from Sun Him Chhim Award

The mission of the National Cambodian Heritage Museum & Killing Fields Memorial (NCHM) is to build community through shared healing through art, language, memory, and histories. To promote and foster the continual process of healing, the Museum strives to recognize and support Cambodian and Cambodian American artisans, musicians, and organizers through collaborations, art and culture residencies, and workshops.
