[02-05-08]

香港中文大學新亞書院北加州校友會將於2008 年2 月 8日至 7月31日在三藩市市場街 (Market Street) 835 號，三藩市州立大學市中心校園舉辦名為 «薪火相傳» 的書畫展，展出新亞書院師生校友的藝術作品及珍藏，以慶祝新亞書院藝術系去年五十週年紀念以及新亞書院明年六十週年紀念。該展覽謹訂於 2008 年2 月8 日下午六時舉行開幕儀式，三藩市州立大學校長郭利勤 (Robert A. Corrigan) 及三藩市市議員朱嘉文將蒞臨主禮。

是次展覽内容豐富，由傳統至現代，由水墨至油彩，以及電腦繪畫，琳琅滿目，近六十幅作品，盡顯中華文化薪火相傳之特色。展覽期間更邀請數位教授和知名藝術家作公開演講，其中包括專業畫家及美國國家設計學院院士張焜如先生，聖荷西州立大學藝術歷史教授高木森博士及三藩市亞洲藝術博物館Chong-Moon Lee亞洲藝術文化中心名譽館長謝瑞華女士，歡迎校友及市民參加。

香港中文大學新亞書院是由一群文人學者於第二次世界大戰後在香港創辦，旨在保存及發揚中華文化。當時的教授包括錢穆、唐君毅、張丕介、牟宗三和牟潤孫等，均為中國歷史、文學、哲學、經濟等當代有名學者。定居美國的余英時博士更是後起之秀。他於2006年榮獲美國國會圖書館的 John W. Kluge Prize 終生成就獎。

近數十年來，有不少新亞校友移居北加州，第一任會長周肇初和一群熱心的校友於1992 年成立新亞書院北加州校友會，以宣揚新亞精神，培植校友情誼。校友們大多數為專業人士和企業家，他們辛勤工作，對社會及經濟貢獻良多。校友中更有熱心僑領長年為華人社會服務。此次藉六十週年校慶在即，與北加州普羅大眾分享校友的藝術作品及珍藏，介紹和發揚中華文化薪火相傳，希望促進中西文化交流。

Press Release [ 02-05-08 ]

An exhibition of Chinese paintings, calligraphy and oil paintings, titled “Celebrating Traditions”, will be held at the San Francisco State University Downtown Campus located at 835 Market Street , San Francisco , from February 8 to July 31, 2008 .   The New Asia College Alumni Association of Northern California is organizing this art exhibition to commemorate the 50^th anniversary of the establishment of New Asia College ’s Fine Arts Department last year, and the forthcoming 60^th anniversary of the founding of the college in 2009.   President Robert A. Corrigan of SF State and Honorable Supervisor Carmen Chu of the City and County of San Francisco will officiate at the Opening Ceremony at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, February 8, 2008 .

The exhibition is a collection of some 60 pieces of diverse artwork ranging from traditional Chinese brush paintings and calligraphy to impressionist oil paintings and computer-generated paintings.   The 20 artists include several renowned masters who had taught at New Asia College ; professional artists; and alumni artists residing mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area.   A series of lectures related to Chinese art and culture will be given by distinguished artists, art professors and curators, during the six-month period of the art exhibition.    Speakers include Mr. Kwan Jung, National Academician of the National Academy, U.S.A.; Dr. Arthur M. Kao, Professor of Art History, San Jose University ; and Mrs. Terese Tse Bartholomew, Curator Emerita, Asian Art Museum , Chong-Moon Lee Center for Asian Art and Culture, San Francisco .

New Asia College , one of the three founding colleges of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was built after the Second World War by academics and literati who moved from mainland China to Hong Kong .  The mission of the University is to enrich and promote Chinese culture and to combine the best of Eastern and Western learning.   Professors at the time, such as Qian Mu (Chien Mu), Tang Jun-yi, Zhang Pi-jie, Mou Zhong-san and Mou Run-sun are all well-known scholars excelling in Chinese classics, history, philosophy and economics.  Dr. Yu Ying-shih, who won the John W. Kluge Prize of Lifetime Achievement in 2006, is an alumnus and a former president of New Asia College .

During the past decades, more than two hundred alumni have settled in the S. F. Bay Area and become active local citizens.   In 1992, New Asia College Alumni Association of Northern California was founded by a group of dedicated alumni and Mr. Frank Jou served as the first President.  Most of the members are professionals and entrepreneurs; and some of them are leaders in the Chinese-American community.   The alumni group wishes to celebrate the 60^th anniversary of its alma mater by sharing its members’ art collections and/or their own artwork with the SF Bay Area community.  SF State has demonstrated a genuine community partnership in making the space available for the exhibition and related lectures.
