In February, we're celebrating the 100th anniversary of the start of Mingei, a Japanese folk art movement that elevated every day, functional design to the status of art objects to behold! We'll discuss the beauty in objects that may, at first, be seemingly mundane in SAM's recent exhibition Exceptionally Ordinary<https://www.seattleartmuseum.org/Exhibitions/Details?EventId=65480>. Recordings and touch objects will complement verbal description on this tour.
