Fri. April 3 Women in Art History class highlights Yayoi Kusama

[bareboards arts & entertainment listserve]

Fri. April 3 Women in Art History class highlights Yayoi Kusama at Northwind Art School: Yayoi Kusama is one of the world's most successful living artists. Her work influenced, and was then overshadowed by, Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg and much of the dominant art establishment of the 1960s and 1970s. Join us at Northwind Art School at Fort Worden for a community-building discussion of Kusama, who is now 97, and the ways she has used art to renew and invigorate her life. To sign up for this class, which will go from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., visit https://northwindart.org. 

Kusama has been open about her mental health and has resided since the 1970s in a Japanese mental health facility.  "I fight pain, anxiety, and fear every day, and the only method I have found that relieved my illness is to keep creating art," she has said. "I followed the thread of art and somehow discovered a path that would allow me to live."
