Join us on Thursday, March 6th for the first Free First Thursday of 2025 featuring the artwork of Olympia based calligrapher Chiyo Sanada.
Statement from the Artist:
My passion for Japanese calligraphy(shodo) has never changed. I enjoy sharing my love of Shodo, and I have always passionately explored new techniques and styles, blending elements of tradition with contemporary ones, since I moved to America 25 years ago. Because of Shodo, I could adapt to my new life in America; it was my magic tool to connect people. America's diverse culture, creativity, and expression have influenced my work significantly. My mission is to use shodo to connect people across cultures.
Entry to the garden is free the whole day from noon to closing for Free First Thursday.
