The letter reads "GREETINGS: I am delighted to join with the International Chinese Arts Society of Americas and Penn State University at Great Valley to welcome everyone gathered at the Chinese Art Showcase.
The commonwealth is comprised of vibrant and diverse communities that offer a wealth of cultural knowledge about the world and its people. Chinese Americans are an integral part of Pennsylvania and they have generously shared their rich history, heritage, and time-honored traditions. As members of the commonwealth and abroad gather at the Chinese Art Showcase, each spectator is granted the opportunity to appreciate the intricate and unique work of thirty renowned Chinese American artists. By way of promoting Chinese culture, each piece of art focuses on traditional painting methods and calligraphy designs. I sincerely commend each artist, spectator, and volunteer participating in the Chinese Art Showcase, as this exhibition aims to contribute to the collaboration and development of artists based in China and abroad.
As Governor, and on behalf of all the citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone gathered at the Chinese Art Showcase. Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable event and continued success."
