by exhibition in Japan
Just received this beautiful poster about our Art Institute Printmaking group’s exhibition coming up for May 29th to June 14th at the B-Gallery in Tokyo, Japan.
Huge thanks go to one of the artists, Michiko Suzuki originally from Tokyo, for her generous efforts in acquiring the gallery for our exhibition and for carrying all our work with her on her flight to Japan. (She has frequented these pages often, please search if interested.)
I’m hoping we shall see some images of our show on the gallery’s site once it is up for the benefit of those (most) of us who will not be there, and for readers. As more information comes in, I will add it here or in another post.
As an exchange, works by several Japanese printmakers will be exhibited in the Studio Art Gallery at Capilano University in North Vancouver during the month of October this year. Exciting times!
More, August 28th: Exhibition photos at last!

Exciting times indeed! What a pity that you are not able to make use of the excuse to visit Tokyo, and other places in Japan. I hope that you get good notices, and that the exhibition brings further opportunities. And you will have the exchange exhibition to visit, and perhaps have the chance to meet more printmakers from Japan.
Olga, thanks for the good wishes. I’m told this is a prestigious gallery. Wayne Eastcott, and of course Michiko have many connections and friends in the printmaking community in Japan so we’ve been fortunate in having the benefits of visiting artists and exhibitions here in the past and it continues. As you know, as a printmaker yourself, printmaking is a highly recognized and valued art form in Japan as is the art of papermaking, so it is indeed an exciting thing.
Marja-Leena,
onneksi olkoon! Great! You really could not make it there?
Marjatta, kiitos, thanks! No, it’s too far and too expensive for me, and not a good time to be away from home right now. I know, excuses, excuses….
Oh, I love exchanges… Sounds lovely.
Marly, yes, the printmaking community is a quite an international one with exchanges like this and many triennials and biennials. Sometimes our work travels more than we do, that’s certainly true for me.
