Participants will learn about Japanese American artist Ruth Asawa. We’ll explore Washi Transformed: New Expressions in Japanese Paper, featuring two-dimensional works, sculptures, and installations in paper by nine Japanese artists. Michiko Yoshimoto from the WMU Soga Japan Center will join us to guide an origami activity.

After, stay for Community Day to experiment with Japanese calligraphy and make more origami creations. You can also join the Collage Crew Kzoo in the library for a collage-making session.

Art Detectives is for children 4-8 years old (but all ages are welcome). Come join us as we read a story, look at art, and make a project to take home! Caregivers must stay with their children at all times.
