Japanese Americans imprisoned during World War II used art to help sustain their spirits during that time. Art was an important part of Japanese culture, infusing every aspect of life, and this was reflected in their activities during their imprisonment. Some of the art produced was documentary, depicting life and
events in the camp, and much was related to nature and the landscape of the camps. A number of outstanding artists contributed to this artistic record and their work is discussed and displayed through slides.taken from the Idaho Humanities Council

I find it hard to believe that the library just learned about this two days before this "Don't Miss This" event. I wish there was more notice given. Yet another program that my family missed.
It's very hard to believe!!
