The centerpiece of the exhibit was the unveiling of The Journey, a mural which the elder Chan Lim brothers, Alex and Felix Chan Lim, started 35 years ago and recently completed. When the panel of pine and plum was unearthed in the storage, the brothers decided to take some time off their work to complete their painting in order to reflect their convergent art styles.

Over the past five decades, the Chan Lim Family of Artists have used a wide variety of media, styles, and techniques to create a fusion of Western and Eastern art. However, it is their Asian-themed art and Chinese brush painting that the Chan Lim artists are best known for.

Currently, the three generations of the family are actively involved in the arts, with the younger generation dabbing in different types of more modern techniques, such as digital media and audio-visual creations.
