Biennial Ikebana Show
The Art League Gallery, Room 21
May 31 - June 3

Art and nature come together as The Art League welcomes back the Washington, DC branch of The Sogestu School for the 14th Biennial Ikebana Show.

Recognized as a sculptural form of art, Ikebana is the art of Japanese flower arranging. For this exhibition, Sogetsu members select works of art by Art League and Torpedo Factory artists to inspire and complete their harmonious installations. The carefully crafted compositions of art and nature create a peaceful and reflective environment in the gallery. A Sogetsu member is present at all times, watering the arrangements as needed and answering questions about their art form. Combining the arrangements with two and three dimensional artwork results in stunning, contemporary installations.
