Fri June 20, Hokusai & Ukioye/The Floating World Art Exhibition 1:30 pm  The Cleve Carney Museum of Art at College of DuPage, 425 Fawell Boulevard, Glen Ellyn, will feature over 60 original works and artifacts by the masters of Japan’s Edo Period (1603-1868). Works by acclaimed artists such as Hokusai and Hiroshige are a window into the life during this time when the city of Edo (present-day Tokyo) thrived as the center of Japan’s economy and culture. 

The collection includes original painted works, intricate color woodblock prints and instruments and other beautifully lacquered objects and more. This collection has never been seen in the U.S. and is on loan from the Edoardo Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art in Genoa, Italy. 

Additional related interactive displays will be shown throughout the McAninch Arts Center, where the museum is located.

TICKETS: Please purchase your tickets online in advance:  https://www.theccma.org/hokusai.  Cost is $27-$30.  Tickets are priced for timed entry—we will plan on a 1:30 pm ticket on June 20—please arrive about 10 minutes early so we can gather as a group.

AFTERWARDS: Approximately 3:30? We’ll stop at Two Hound Red Brewery, 486 Pennsylvania Avenue, Glen Ellyn for refreshments.

Also please sign up on MeetUp so we know who will be joining us.  Note that signing up on MeetUp alone will not get you into the exhibit—you must purchase your timed entry ticket in advance.  Event hosted by Eileen Murphy Amlee
