O’Hanlon Center for the Arts invites you to submit work
for our 17th ANNUAL WABI-SABI
IN-GALLERY EXHIBITION
juried by Marcia Lieberman
Submissions taken in person ONLY:
Friday Sept 24, 11 am to 4 pm
and Saturday Sept 25, 11am to 1pm
This exhibit will not be having online submissions.
Juror: Marcia Lieberman artist and Buddhist scholar from the SF Zen Center https://www.sfzc.org/teachers/marcia-lieberman
Exhibition Dates: October 5 to November 11, 2021
In person Roundtable in the Gallery: Tuesday October 5 at 4 pm with reception following
WABI-SABI
“…celebrating the simple, the rustic, the unassuming; the dignity of things imperfect,
uncontrolled and incomplete; the transient beauty of the natural world…”
When seeking to understand Wabi-Sabi, it is helpful to contemplate the idea that beauty is inherent in a simple object, which in turn evokes a quiet, thoughtful mood and atmosphere. The emphasis of this exhibit will be not on the final perfected form of the work, but on how well pieces reflect a sense and feeling of this elusive concept. In particular, focus will be on the imaginative use of natural materials that may include found objects.
