Explore the Woodson Art Museum galleries with museum educators to experience Kimono: Garment, Canvas, and Artistic Muse during a guided tour. Learn more about the history of the iconic garment with origins dating back 1,000 years. This exhibition showcases woven, dyed, painted, printed, and embroidered designs by Japanese textile artists alongside contemporary artworks—made in glass, paper, metal, ceramic and other materials—from around the world, all inspired by the kimono. After the mid-nineteenth century, when Japan opened to foreign diplomacy and trade with the United States and Europe, the kimono also became beloved in the West: a subject for painters and an inspiration for fashion designers.

Following the tour, try your hand at a kimono-inspired art project and enjoy lunch and refreshments. 

This event is $5.00 per participant and free for Ally Members. Registration is required.
