Join Asia Society to celebrate its upcoming exhibition Modern Twist: Contemporary Japanese Bamboo Art. This exhibition explores the innovative shape bamboo art has taken since the mid-twentieth century, featuring a stunning selection of works from 17 Japanese artists. With rare wall-hung installations and works never before seen in Houston, this exhibition both engages and educates audiences about this vibrant cultural art form.

Enjoy complimentary admission to the exhibition and a reception with light bites.
