15 Faculty, staff and students gathered on May 16 in the Social Justice Intercultural Center to celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Desi Heritage month with a sip and paint event.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many of the faculty, staff and students, it is important to them to have these types of events in order to create a support system and a safe learning environment for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasmine Brady, a student at LBCC, has been to every sip and paint and continues to support these monthly all inclusive and cultural events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to know that we\u2019re all coming together as one because it doesn\u2019t matter what skin color or ethnicity we have, at the end of the day we are human,\u201d said Brady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organizer and host of APID sip and paint, Bri Pinkerton, chose peach blossoms as reference for this month’s cultural event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI chose two different reference photos for this sip and paint because I really couldn\u2019t decide,\u201d said Pinkerton. \u201cIt\u2019s all free form.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peach blossoms are entrenched in the history and culture of China and have been a notable symbol for spring-time festivals and celebrations for generations. The peach blossom symbolizes longevity, fertility and abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinkerton setup easels, paint brushes, cups of water and paint correlating to the reference photos of peach blossoms provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filipino food including fried lumpia and pancit guisado was provided along with non-alcoholic bubbly cider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the participants free handed their reference photos onto the canvas and let their creativity take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants gathered at the end of this two hour long event to take a group photo with their signed and finished pieces of artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last sip and paint event of the semester will take place on June 7th from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Social Justice Intercultural Center to celebrate Pride Month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
