The public is invited to attend a Japanese Floral Art show on Sunday, May 2nd from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Mill Creek City Hall Annex Building, 15720 Main Street. At 2 p.m. Yoshi Erickson will conduct a seminar on the key elements of the traditional art form. The show is free and will feature 30 floral arrangements by local artists.

The purpose of the floral art show is to entertain and educate the public about the art form known as Ikebana and to provide an opportunity for local artists to share their work.

Ikebana arrangements are made only from fresh plants, flowering trees, evergreens and natural materials and are a striking form of art. To understand Ikebana one must appreciate its structure, line, color and presentation. At 2:00 p.m., Yoshi Erickson, a resident of Mill Creek, will demonstrate and explain the principles and techniques used in Japanese flower arranging.
