IYASI 癒し / HEALING:
WHAT DID YOU CREATE IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS?!

Many of us have had time to reflect and discuss amongst ourselves and may have found that creating things can be a healing experience for ourselves. JFG’s upcoming exhibit invites everyone of all ages and backgrounds that are willing to share their work and stories to submit their project!

This opportunity is open to any local, national, professional, and amateur artists with various mediums being considered — photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, and film to name a few. This exhibit will offer artists the opportunity to exhibit their work in the intimate setting of JFG's Inamori Pavilion from February 11 – May 31 , 2021. Please note that subject matter must be appropriate for all ages and background.

JFG's mission is to educate, engage, and inspire present and future generations of diverse backgrounds about Japanese culture and community legacy.
