Splendid Silk: Japanese Embroidery, 2011 World Nuido Exhibition

The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky
In collaboration with the UK Theater Department and UK Asia Center, The Art Museum at the University of Kentucky brings a sumptuous display of Japanese embroidery to Lexington. Jointly created by the Japanese Embroidery Center in Atlanta and Kurenai-kai, LTD in Japan, Splendid Silk: Japanese Embroidery features over 100 traditional works by contemporary artists including designs on kimonos, scrolls, and samplers. The exhibition will be ever-changing as work is displayed in rotation so that the delicate fabric is not compromised by long exposure to light.
