The Brooklyn Museum marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with Drawing America: US@250. A season of art installations, programs, and partnerships, Drawing America honors those who have imagined a more equitable future and fought for the promise of our democracy—and those who continue to do so today.

The Brooklyn Botanic invites visitors of Hanami Nights to join Sato Yamamoto and Jason Clay Lewis for four days of a fun hands-on Origami workshop. Guests will have a chance to transform simple sheets of paper into beautiful, inspiring, and elegant three-dimensional designs. Sato and Jason will happily guide, assist, and help develop your skills with the multiple steps needed for completion. You will be amazed at what you can do with a little practice, patience, and a piece of paper. Multiple skill levels will be offered, so anyone of any age can easily participate. For those wishing to challenge themselves with more advanced forms, we will be focusing on the heart, chickadee, butterfly, camellia, jumping frog, medal, and crane.

Jon Elliott interview for "Wildlife Analysis" at Lorimoto Gallery.

Viewing "Jasper Johns: Between the Clock and the Bed" exhibition at Gagosian is a must see. It is quite mind bending to realize the more you look and try to decipher, the more complicated the “Between the Clock and the Bed” paintings become. If you are only viewing a single painting the viewer would simply see the abstract cross hatching, but seen together you start comparing each section like a puzzle.

“Unknown Frontier” features artists that are exploring uniquely unexpected techniques and materials beyond the norm. The work in the show is interactive, playful, and exploding with color. Walking around the gallery you may just find your perfect vacation vista, a dramatic inverted installation, surreal landscapes, intimate ethereal sculptures or an unexpected surprise that catches the viewer off guard.

Try your hand at woodblock printing with Sato Yamamoto, a Japanese artist inspired by culture and diversity! Choose the Gardens for Peace pattern or other patterns created by Sato and create your own print.

"Material World" features artists that focus on materials as a significant source of inspiration. The materials an artist uses are fundamental in their recognition and success. This exhibition highlights not only traditional methods of painting and drawing, but also materials such as asphalt, resin, salt, sand, and resin. More subtly incorporated into several of the artist’s work are materials such as rice paper, cotton fiber, and various types of sewing techniques.

Find a spot on Cherry Esplanade to enjoy the cherry blossoms, lit up for maximum effect, and savor the spring vibe with family and friends. Stroll in the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden and along Cherry Walk, try your hand at origami, and view a curated display of bonsai in the Lillian and Amy Goldman Atrium. The evenings feature live performances, a bar selling Japanese beer and Joto Sake, and pop-up food menus featuring Sunrise Mart and Saiko Sushi.

Primal instincts features artworks that are characterized by the most fundamental aspects of human nature. The first thing one notices are the deep relation to process and materiality. The works present simple yet striking motifs that resonate on both personal and cultural levels. An underlying theme of primordial beginnings are overtly and overwhelmingly represented. In their own way, each artist alludes to the broader ramifications of the primal act of creation that is fundamental to all humanity.

As part of the North American Japanese Garden Association’s annual Gardens for Peace project, which brings communities together in Japanese gardens to promote peace, BBG is presenting free public programming in and around the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden.

“Flora and Fauna" features both abstract and representational artworks that are inspired by the natural world. The gallery explodes in color and form with an overwhelming sensory overload of work and presentation. One can almost see and smell a real botanical garden surrounding us as the show unfurls and explodes in a lush rapture of exuberance. The diversity of works highlights the changing styles, iconography, and expansiveness in the current Contemporary Art World.

Pints and Prints: Hiroshige and Murakami invites you to grab a brew and learn about Japanese gyotaku techniques from artist Sato Yamamoto. Art materials will provided. This series is for all the DIY-ers and not-afraid-to-try-ers, so be sure to sign up today!

Afterburner is a fearless tour de force and an absolute must see. With nothing like it in the San Diego area, TECHNE stands out as a lush oasis in a very barren landscape. With TECHNE's boldest exhibition to date, curator Chuck Thomas embarks on an ambitious extravaganza that should be both heralded and acknowledged. The abundant supply of color and texture in this show is spectacular.

Find a spot on Cherry Esplanade to enjoy the cherry blossoms, lit up for maximum effect, and savor the spring vibe with family and friends. Stroll in the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden and along Cherry Walk, and view a curated display of bonsai in the Steinberg Visitor Center. The evenings feature live performances, a bar selling Japanese beer and cocktails, and pop-up food vendors.

Growing up in a very small and isolated hamlet in the middle of forest drenched western Pa., was by no means a hotbed of creativity and social discourse, let alone skateboarding which I always longed to do. The amount of hills, valleys, and dirt roads was enough to discourage any activities without a motor. As an only child with a plethora of pets ranging from one horse to seventy ducks and pretty much all other genus mixed in between was from what I recall idyllic but there was a sense of foreboding uneasiness. As I developed more formidable thoughts and awareness these creatures lacking intellect became less interesting over the years.

I grew up in northern Italy, in a city called Udine, about one and a half hour north of Venice. No one in my family had any interest in art, but for some reason I always did. As a teenager, every other year, a friend of mine and I took the train to the Venice Biennale. Back then, I did not have the intellectual tools to understand what I was looking at, but I was curious and interested. Some of the people from my small city would look at the art and say "my five your old son could do that". I kept looking, fighting these prejudices, trying to stay open-minded.

Celestial Light is a conceptual exploration about pushing the limits of traditional color. With the recent clarity and unprecedented discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope, we now know the sky is even more radiant and colorful than ever before. Like a psychedelic manifestation of William S. Burrows “Naked Lunch,” color is an exploration into the unknown. The works submitted for the fair have a common visual language, but highlight three very different approaches to color.

A car auction for the vehicles in the collection of Jim Lewis, an Enid native who collected cars for more than 60 years. Jason Lewis, Jim's son, said another auction was held in June with 115 cars being sold. He said the best cars his dad had were in the auction that ended Oct. 11, 2022

The horizon is the apparent line that separates the surface of a celestial body from its sky when viewed from the perspective of an observer on or near the surface of the relevant body. This line divides all viewing directions based on whether it intersects the relevant body's surface or not. The true horizon is a theoretical line, which can only be observed to any degree of accuracy when it lies along a relatively smooth surface such as that of Earth's oceans.

The Royal @ RSOAA in partnership with TECHNE in Oceanside, California is pleased to present Color Continuum, a group exhibition featuring artists Chuck Thomas, Nancy Baker, Gabe Brown, Jon Elliott, Jason Clay Lewis, Geoffrey Owen Miller, Elizabeth Riley, Jason Rohlf, Linda Kamille Schmidt, Suzan Shutan
