Ricepaper magazine celebrates 15th anniversary at Foo’s Ho Ho Restaurant on Saturday, December 11, 2010
Ricepaper magazine, the Asian Canadian Writers' Workshop (ACWW) and Friends of Foo's Ho Ho cordially invite you to share in the celebration of Ricepaper's milestone 15th anniversary at Foo's Ho Ho Restaurant, the oldest Chinese restaurant in historic Chinatown serving pioneer style Chinese food.
In 1995, Ricepaper had humble beginnings as a newsletter for the Asian Canadian Writers’ Workshop. From then, it has evolved into a full-scale magazine that is now distributed coast to coast. Even with the changes in its style and format, Ricepaper has been consistent in its commitment to providing a voice to a vibrant and evolving Asian Canadian identity and culture as well as a venue for inclusive, representative and progressive dialogue.
Ricepaper is Canada’s only nationally-distributed literary magazine devoted to showcasing Asian Canadian artists, writers, performers and innovators. For 15 years, Ricepaper has published important work for and about Asian Canadian community luminaries such as David Suzuki, Fred Wah, Denise Chong, and Evelyn Lau while also providing opportunities for new and emerging talent to publish their work.
The evening will tag-team MCs: feature actor Patrick Gallagher, who plays the character of coach Ken Tanaka on the hit musical comedy-drama Glee, and comedian, filmmaker and recent host of CBC Radio One's former afternoon series The Roundup, Tetsuro Shigematsu.
Award-winning Vancouver writer and poet Evelyn Lau, and Carol Frank of Tradewind Books will be on hand to receive the 2010 ACWW Community Builder Award. The ACWW Community Builder award is given members of the community who have made significant contributions not only to the literary world, but to the Asian Canadian community as well.
