What is Red Envelope, you say?

Some of the artists featured include: ChrisRWK, Danielle Dejesus, Deth P. Sun, Gemma Correll, James Yang, Josh Cochran, Kelly Denato, Zero Productivity.
Also, at the opening reception on January 29, from 6:00pm - 9:00pmt, there will be a traditional lion dance, with over 40 vendors located within Dekalb Market Hall.
Guests can grab a bite to eat, a drink and take in the Chinese New Year celebration. The exhibit will remain up at Dekalb Market Hall from January 30th until February 17th.
There will also be a money tree mural by Rose Wong, a well known illustrator who has been profiled in The New York Times, Washington Post and other publications.
