About
Since its inception in 2013, Hanjie Art Center has served the Greater Houston community for 11 years. It is the brainchild of Haicun Weng, who brought nearly 20 years of university-level art education experience to the founding of Hanjie. His vision was to realize a philosophy that balances the teaching of traditional artistic skills with the encouragement of innovative experimentation. The Center is dedicated to challenging students to discover, develop, and elevate their innate creativity.
