This immersive event will feature a curated exhibition of stunning gyotaku works from artists across the U.S., showcasing both time-honored techniques and innovative interpretations.
The highlight of the evening is a live demonstration by internationally acclaimed Master Gyotaku Artist, Dwight Hwang, known for his breathtakingly lifelike prints that bridge the worlds of fine art, nature, and Japanese tradition.
