The opening day (May 21, 2016) was a festive affair with guests and fans of the arts attending from all over the GTA. The attendees include city councillors from Toronto (Norm Kelly, Chin Lee), Markham (Alan Ho) and Richmond Hill (Castro Liu), as well as photographer friend of Master Tam, Dr. Fraser Shein.<\/p>\n

Councillor Kelly at one point asked Dr. Shein if the five elderly artists could truly be friends. Shein didn’t hesitate, “They are very competitive.” But diversity is also what makes the Chinese genre continue to thrive.

According to Dr. Shein and guests, the paintings are by far the best by Tam and friends.<\/p>\n
