We are so fortunate to live very close to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and one of the benefits of being Pratt Institute Alum is that we get free admission for life!  Every spring we attend the Sakura Matsuri which is a Brooklyn-Japanese festival that began in 1982 celebrating the full bloom of the cherry tree blossoms.

The weather, the trees and the people were all celebrating the beauty of spring.

Mono No Aware

The Sakura trees are said to embody in the Buddhist concept of mono no aware, which is the awe found in impermanence, since they bloom at once and for only about a week.

What is exceptionally fun about the festival is that it also celebrates the panoply of Japanese culture, past and present, including drumming, dancing, gaming, martial arts, manga and Anime Cosplay.

The festival is great fun for kids of all ages!

Of course it was rife with photo-tunities!

Wow, last night we had a stellar time at Le Poisson Rouge at an official international Art Battle.  The artists were phenomenal!  Twelve artists had 20 minutes to compete head to head in two qualifying rounds, the top 2 from each moved on to the final round.

The audience used its tear off ballot to vote, Artist ANDRE and Marthalicia Matarrita were clear favorites in round one.

We both fell in love with Marthalicia’s first painting and were locked in a silent bidding war to purchase it.

Round 1 also saw Jaquelyn and Tony Carter eliminated but both had a decent showing.

Art Battle Round 2

Round 2 featured Ki Sub Lee, Krissy Whiski, A.E. Kieren and a Wildcard drawn from names thrown into a hat upon entry.

Shout out to our good buddy Soren Hansen for the lead on this fun combination of art, competition, theatre and adult beverages!

The Finals
