SHIBUMI GALLERY is pleased to announce our 16th ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY and show opening.
PRESENT features SHIBUMI artists who have not only created original pieces, but have also created or selected unique packaging in which to present their work.
In a quest to delve into diverse inspirations, our artists were prompted to explore the realms of Japanese culture where the display and presentation of an object is as integral as the object itself.
The guidelines were deliberately broad, allowing each artist the freedom to consider exploring new elements, techniques or aesthetics that might personally inspire their work for this show.
We thank you in anticipation of your support this season and extend a warm invitation to join us at our 16th ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY. Immerse yourself in the showcase, and savor the delightful Japanese Izakaya-style cuisine and libations that we will be sharing in celebration.

My life's passion has always revolved around not only jewelry, but also the art of display and presentation. This passion gave rise to SHIBUMI - an endeavor aimed at providing a uniquely beautiful experience.
