Last Day to See Mountains and Rivers: Scenic Views of Japan

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Beginning in the early 19th century, landscape evolved into a popular theme in Japanese printmaking. This subject matter, drawn from older painting traditions, was transferred to the medium of woodblock printing, where richer, more innovative thematic content appeared. This exhibition will highlight depictions of famous places (meisho), including selections from the Museum's complete set of Hiroshige's Yukaidy (Eastern Sea Route) prints and Hokusai's series of the "Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji."

RISD Museum Family Open Studio: Picturing Photography

1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Visit the special exhibition “Odyssey: The Photographs of Linda Connor” at the RISD Museum.

After visiting the exhibition, make a sun print in the Family Open Studio that represents something sacred to you and enjoy sketching in the exhibition. Admission is free all day. Family Open studio is from 1pm-4pm, Family See + Sketch at 2:30pm.  Call 401-454-6674 for more information.
