Congressman James Walkinshaw wrote:
Dear Friends,
“Please accept my warmest congratulations on the 20th anniversary of Shen Yun Performing Arts and the commencement of another global tour, where your art will once again be shared with audiences around the world.
“Performing arts play a vital role in enriching our communities, strengthening cultural understanding, and bringing people together despite perceived differences. Live performances offer audiences the opportunity to learn, reflect and engage with one another in meaningful ways that extend beyond the stage. The tireless work of Shen Yun demonstrates the value of performing arts in fostering connection and cultural exchange.
“As Shen Yun celebrates two decades of artistic work, I commend the dedication required to sustain large-scale performances and to engage audiences year after year. Reaching millions worldwide is no small achievement and reflects the enduring public interest in live performance.
“Please accept my best wishes for a successful world tour and continued growth in the years ahead. I wish you every success as you continue contributing to the global performing arts community.”
