About Arching Oaks Japanese Art and Culture Center
Mission Statement:
The mission of Arching Oaks Arts and Culture Center is to raise awareness and promote the artistic and cultural traditions of Japan and to provide its diverse community opportunities for growth of body, mind and spirit through high-quality programming rooted in these traditions.
About Us:
Arching Oaks Art and Culture Center is a multi-faceted arts organization committed to raising awareness and appreciation of Japanese artistic and cultural traditions and to helping combat anti-Asian discrimination in the U.S. Its annual programming includes an annual community cultural festival that is free and open to the public, an arts outreach program at a local elementary school, monthly Japanese fine-arts classes, weekly classes in Japanese archery and swordsmanship, Japanese tea ceremonies, yearly Zen meditation retreats and a variety of lectures and demonstrations. These programs serve thousands of individuals each year and are specifically designed to bring awareness to a culture that is historically underrepresented in the Southeast region of the country.
