Titled “Teagether ,” this exhibition provides a window to the fascinating tea cultural practices around the world, and an opportunity to experience the tea drinking methods of the Tibetan

and Mongolian regions, along with Japanese, Russian, Turkish, Iranian and the Arctic . Exotic teahouses are built in real size in this exhibition, with entertaining interactive facilities and multicultural costumes for experiencing. What a fun tea carnival! Definitely you don’t want to miss!

“#4C” is organized by three Japanese

and one Taiwanese female artists, showcasing their paintings and installation artworks. These four artists include Arika Narikiyo, a grad ua te of t he Tok yo University of the Arts Graduate School; Yuriko Yamauchi, Lu Chen, who studies in Japan, and Yuriko Ishizaki of the

Kanazawa College of Art Graduate School. The letter C of the name “4C” derives from the four-leaf clover, which represents the convergence of the four budding artists, and their commitment in the promotion of arts. In October 2018, the quartet held their first “#4C” exhibition in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. By means of their second exhibition, the artists are looking forward to engaging the Taiwanese community in an aesthetic lexicon.
