From music to art making: Celebrate Japanese art and culture at this month’s Art After Dark! Enjoy J-pop provided by DJs from Glotaku throughout the night and watch exciting performances by Cincinnati Dayton Taiko Drum Group. Learn about Japanese teas and taste a variety yourself with Churchill’s Fine Teas (while supplies last). Explore Japanese art on view throughout the East Asian galleries, in the recently opened Mary W. Baskett fashion and textiles gallery, and in the Gifts from Japan special feature, highlighting paintings that recently joined CAM’s collection. Docents will be on hand to share more information and answer your questions! Plus, this night only, see additional Japanese artworks in the museum’s Carl M. Jacobs Study Center.
 
Join Asianati to "paint-your-own-koi!" Your artistic contributions will become part of the art installation at the Asianati Night Market during BLINK!
