Chinese Culture Center

The Chinese Culture Center is a cultural center in Chinatown located within the Hilton San Francisco Financial District, featuring exhibition galleries and a performance auditorium. The institution offers workshops, exhibitions, and cultural programs that present contemporary Chinese and Chinese-American artistic expressions.

The center was established in 1965 and began with programs in Mandarin language, folklore, martial arts, and traditional arts. Over time, its focus shifted toward contemporary art exhibitions and new artistic perspectives.

The center serves as a meeting place where Chinese and Chinese-American artistic forms come alive through exhibitions and programs that connect visitors directly with contemporary works. The spaces show how artistic traditions are lived and reinterpreted today.

The location is easily accessible and offers regular programming that draws visitors from different backgrounds. It helps to check the current schedule before visiting to learn about planned workshops or exhibitions.

The center created the 'In Search of Roots' program, which enables American-born Chinese youth to explore their family histories in the Pearl River Delta region. This project connects personal heritage with practical learning and cultural understanding.
