Gallery Exhibition: Hiroyuki Tamba Impressionism invites audiences to view the world not as it is but rather how—for the briefest of moments—it feels to the artist. Hiroyuki Tamba chooses nature as his vehicle for his snapshots of scenes, suspended in time, and the emotions they evoke. Through July 31, his exhibition of paintings at the Frederick Harris Gallery encourages Members to reflect on their own impressions of the world around them. OZ Moment I realized I wanted to become an artist. I never decided to become an artist. In recent years, I have wondered about becoming a rakugo [traditional storyteller]. What I would tell my 20-year-old self. Don’t worry about the opposition of your parents. Push for success in the world of art.
American Bar & Grill and Traders’ Bar serve up a feast worthy of Uncle Sam himself. This multicourse selection features such American holiday classics as succulent pork ribs and smoked chicken wings.
My perfect creative environment. It would be a deep forest on an uninhabited island.
