Exhibit Opening + Artists’ Conversations: Feb 13 and May 29, 6 – 8pm
In our 25th anniversary year at the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre, we celebrate artists of Japanese ancestry with the Umami: Savouring Artistic Nikkei Identity exhibition from February through September in the Karasawa Gallery. Many are Japanese Canadian Legacies Art fund awardees and/or artists who are exhibiting at the NNMCC for the first time. From traditional to contemporary art practice, the Umami exhibition shares the rich essence of our Japanese Canadian creative community.
