To mark its 25th anniversary and to celebrate the future, OBORO is organizing a major exhibition bringing together more than one hundred artists with their own interpretation of “OBORO.”

Come and celebrate with us at the opening banquet and throughout the exhibition during which all the artworks will be on sale. Proceeds will go towards OBORO’s endowment fund. Hot tea will be served by Trolley Bus, famous emcee of the World Tea Party, in a charming garden setting.

As a closing ceremony, you are invited to participate in a special event during which a tree will be planted to thank the community for its unfailing twenty-five year support and to make a gesture for future generations.

Until then, be on the look-out for the publication of our “manifestoboro” at oboro.net or on a bulletin board near you.
