Join us for a special closing reception celebrating "Be Nice + Kind to Yourself" — the inspiring exhibition by Japanese artists Mai Ide and Ariko Inaoka.
Mai’s work blends vibrant color, heartfelt text, and cross-cultural expression to explore kindness, perseverance, and the beauty of human connection. Each piece invites you to pause, reflect, and embrace the power of simple, positive acts in our everyday lives.
Ariko captures the sisters (“we dream the same dreams sometimes”, they told her) in dreamlike, surreal scenes, each image subverting expectations in one way or other and displaying the deep bond the sisters share with each other and with their photographer. Ariko explores the omnipresent nature of life in Raven and Eagle’s relationship with each other.
This is your final opportunity to experience the exhibit in person, meet Mai Ide, and hear about the inspirations and stories behind her work. Light refreshments will be served, and all are welcome to share in this evening of art and conversation.
