Opening Jan. 9 through Feb. 1, 2009
"East Meets West" is the eighth exhibition of the Richmond-based group Artificium of Humanitas. This show, curated by art6 member Heeja Sung, brings together 35 Korean and Virginian artists working in traditional and contemporary styles.

These shows have brought together the work of Korean, American, French, German, Russian, Mongolian and Chinese artists. While they represent a wide variety of artistic styles and philosophies, all are united by the desire to contribute to a constructive and compassionate cultural dialogue.
