O’Hanlon Center for the Arts invites you to submit work for our
19th Annual Wabi-Sabi Exhibition 2023

September 5 – October 12, 2023
juried by artist Suzie Buchholz and her husband Yoshi Tome owner of Sushi Ran Sausalito.

“…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, the focus will be on the imaginative use of natural materials that may include found objects.
