On exhibit: April 24 – July 28
View a video talking more about this exhibit
Art is a powerful teacher, a window into culture and cultural change. Modern art insists on few limits to personal identity and freedom of expression, but few artists leave heritage and memory completely behind when they go to the studio. Nihon/WA invites viewers to experience a wide spectrum of work created by artists of Japanese heritage in the Puget Sound region and see how each has chosen to include or step beyond heritage and history in their own content and style.
Kenneth Greg Watson, artist, teacher and former Chair of the City of Auburn Arts Commission conceived of this exhibit and as the guest curator, assembled this never before seen collection. The White River Valley Museum is mounting this exhibit to honor its region’s once large community of Japanese heritage.
NIHON/WA Artists: Paul Horiuchi, Etsuko Ichikawa, Nadine Kariya, Carl Kishida, Greg Kono, Rumi Koshino, Frank Okada, Saya Moriyasu, June Sekiguchi, Roger Shimomura, Aki Sogabe, Boyd Sugiki, Akio Takamori, Ken Taya, Gerard Tsutakawa, Patti Warashina, Junko Yamamoto & Lois Yoshida
This exhibit is sponsored in part by the White River Valley Japanese American Citizens League.
