Cherry Blossom Festival
2016-09-16 15:04
Fans of taikō drumming, teriyaki chicken, and vintage Japanese textiles won’t want to miss this year’s Cherry Blossom Festival (in Japanese, Sakura Matsuri).
Held each year since 1972, the festival celebrates the Japanese American (JA) heritage and culture of Front Range residents through live entertainment, food and drink, arts and crafts, and informative exhibits and demonstrations.
Among the entertainment will be Denver Taiko, whose rousing drum performances have in past years drawn the festival’s biggest crowds, as well as performances of Japanese dance, koto and shamisen, and martial arts. Inside the Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temple, attendees will find exhibits of ikebana (flower arrangement) and bonsai, and informative lectures on Buddhism. The temple’s gymnasium is home to a variety of food and drink, including the popular teriyaki chicken dinner plate, sushi, and delicious Japanese sweets called manju and mochi. Volunteers will be pouring complementary hot green tea, but if that’s too much heat on a warm summer day, head to one of our two beer gardens for a cold glass and a refreshing bowl of chilled somen (noodles). Be sure to try the special Sakura Matsuri craft brew made by our neighbor, Jagged Mountain Brewery. If sake is more to your liking, try Portland-based Sake One’s offerings.
Free entry and fun for people of all ages.
SAT 6/18 – 11a – 6p
SUN 6/19 – 11a – 4p

Public Art Dedication: "Flower Girl"

Please join Denver Arts & Venues to dedicate “Flower Girl” at the Denver Botanic Gardens into the Denver Public Art Collection.
“Flower Girl” is a 5’ x 5’ x 5’ carved sculpture created by Madeline Wiener at the Denver Botanic Gardens Sensory Garden. The piece is a female figure created from Colorado Yule Marble (Colorado’s State Stone) with outstretched hands holding flowers; visitors are encouraged to interact with the piece, climbing onto the marble and using her lap as a resting place. She is offering a lotus blossom in her right hand and holding a bouquet of stylized flowers that might be recognized throughout the Gardens. Those familiar with Wiener’s artistic style will find the piece immediately identifiable as one of her works.
This event is FREE and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Please enter through the Piñión Gate just north of the Visitor’s Center.
[Free]
More info: http://artsandvenuesdenver.com/event/458575
About Madeline Wiener: Contemporary abstract figures in stone, from marble to sandstone to granite, have been Madeline Wiener’s main focus since studying at The New York School of Visual Arts from 1968-1974. A trip to Italy and her many days of sketching sculptures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York began Madeline’s journey in stone. Founder/director of The Marble Institute of Colorado, Madeline has remained intent on finding new and expressive ways to create her abstract figurative stone sculptures. Working trips to far-away places like Scotland and India have provided the opportunity to create site-specific, monumental public installations and fulfilled Madeline’s dream of using her art to foster cultural exchange. The creation of the Marble Institute of Colorado’s MARBLE/marble Symposium has provided a venue for cultural exchanges between artists from different countries and varying disciplines.
About the Sensory Garden: This unique garden utilizes architectural features and sensory plantings to enable people of all ages and abilities to interact with plants. Specialized gardening techniques and structures help to minimize barriers and maximize people’s abilities.
