HR1068: HR1068 Shen Yun Performing Arts; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Shen Yun Performing Arts, a company founded in 2006 that presents classical Chinese dance and music. The resolution praises the group's artistic work and its performances across Georgia, including an upcoming run at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta from January 27 to February 1, 2026. The resolution does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose any requirement. It simply states that the House recognizes and commends the organization for its cultural and artistic contributions, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Shen Yun Performing Arts.
