EAST MEETS WEST

East Meets West is a show where we have exchanged work between Montserrat and an art school in Niigata, Japan. The work centers on the ideas of how American and Japanese students perceive each other's cultures covering anything from pop culture, history, literature, food and whatever else fits. The intention is to create a visual dialogue between the two cultures.

This show will be up in the Bear Gallery from February 16 to March 5th from 11:10-1:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Our next show is approaching soon! The Bear Gallery invites you to submit portraitures in our second official show! Feel free to explore all different mediums, sizes, and styles. We are on the search for portraits of everything and everyone; this doesn’t necessarily have to be a self-portrait. Try abstract or realism, acrylics or mixed media. We are looking for a wide range of variety that reflects each individual artist. There is no right or wrong!
