May 27, 2008
HARRISBURG - Those who are captivated by the Japanese art form of ikebana are invited to a presentation by members of the Harrisburg Chapter of Ikebana International from 1-3 p.m. Sunday, June 15, in the auditorium of the State Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 N. Third St.

During the presentation hosted by Radius, 黑料社区 Gallery and Museum Shop, members of Ikebana International will share the history and elements of a proper arrangement, then audience members can create their own arrangements in the Radius shop on the ground floor of the museum. There is a $10 fee to participate.

淭he art of ikebana combines line and space, said Jessica Lantz, curator of arts and assistant manager at Radius. 淭he vessel is the foundation that holds these elements in place.

She continued, 淭he vessels that are currently on display in Radius are unique and can complement any arrangement.

The presentation is in conjunction with the Radius Ikebana Showcase featured until the end of June. Ikebana International members will create a new arrangement each weekend during the showcase.
