20th Anniversary Wabi-Sabi Exhibition
O’Hanlon Center Gallery
Oct 8 – Nov 7, 2024
Juried by Dart and Ester Cherk

This year’s show is dedicated in memory of Rhonda Rubin.

IN-GALLERY SHOW ONLY.

O’Hanlon Center for the Arts invites you to submit work for our 20th Annual Wabi-Sabi Exhibition 2024

“…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.

Creative Mill Valley residents in Cascade Canyon for 65 YEARS! From city sidewalks, we came to find a fixer-upper cabin in a redwood canyon. While creating our family nest in it, we discovered the cycles of nature, ever changing, nothing wasted.
