Harmony of Nature and Art: The Bridge of Spiritual Connection Exhibition at FIU

Marking the 30th anniversary of the sister-state relationship between Florida and Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, Harmony of Nature and Art: The Bridge of Spiritual Connection honors decades of cultural exchange, collaboration, and friendship. Established in 1995, the sister-state partnership is part of a broader global initiative to promote mutual understanding, cultural dialogue, educational collaboration, and economic cooperation between regions.

This exhibition brings together works by artists from Florida and Japan, including traditional Noh masks by master carver Hakuzan Kubo, netsuke miniature sculptures from the Frost Art Museum collection, paintings by the Florida Highwaymen, and works in a range of media by contemporary artists. Together, these pieces reflect the enduring spiritual and artistic heritage shared by both regions.
