Witness to Wartime: Takuichi Fujii introduces an artist whose work opens
a window to historical events, issues, and ideas far greater than the individual. Takuichi Fujii (1891-1964)
bore witness to his life in America and, most especially, to his experience during World War II.
Takuichi Fujii was fifty years old when war broke out between the United States and Japan.
This exhibition highlights works from the past 50 years of the Tom Peyton Memorial Arts Festival Exhibit.
All works in this exhibition are on loan from the First United Methodist Church in Alexandria,
where the Tom Peyton Memorial Arts Festival has been held throughout its history.
Many of the artists in this exhibition have been exhibited at AMoA in previous years,
with a number of the artists in our permanent collection as well.
Youth Art Month Festival
Youth Art Month (YAM) in March is an annual observance to emphasize the value of art and art education for all children and to encourage public support for quality school art programs. YAM provides a forum for acknowledging skills that are not possible in other subjects. Art Education develops self-esteem, appreciation of the work of others, self-expression, cooperation with others, and critical thinking skills. All of these skills are vital to the success of our future leaders – our children.
