Charity and Autumn Exhibition by Nabari City Art Authors Association from the 12th
Summary
The Nabari City Art Authors Association, comprising 11 men and women in their 60s to 90s residing in Nabari City, Mie Prefecture, will hold a "Autumn Exhibition with Charity" from November 12 to 15 at Ribana Hall (3rd floor of AEON Nabari Store) in Motomachi, Nabari City. Admission is free. The exhibition features a wide range of genres including portraits, landscapes, and still lifes, using materials such as oil, watercolor, acrylic, and pastel. Before their biannual exhibitions, members hold a "study session" to critique each other's works and improve their skills. This time, they plan to display about 80 works in separated spaces: two or three medium-sized works per person and two or three small charity works per person. Part of the sales will be donated to elementary schools in the city through the city board of education for book purchases. Shunji Kudo will exhibit oil paintings from his "Landscape" series depicting scenes around Nabari, saying he hopes people will see the everyday scenery in familiar living areas. Kazuro Itano plans to exhibit works such as "Autumn of Uda River," an oil painting of Sakashita Bridge in the city, and a painting of old stone-walled houses around Naki Fishing Port in Shima City. Representative Kenichi Kawamori commented, "I hope people will spend a relaxing time surrounded by paintings in this late autumn period and enjoy interaction." Hours are from 10 a.m. (noon on the first day) to 5 p.m. (4 p.m. on the last day). For inquiries, contact Kawamori at 0595-48-7991. The spring exhibition scheduled for April next year will call for works from residents and workers in the Iga region and nearby areas, and display them alongside members' works.
