Wednesday, May 1, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm – An Evening with Hamish Bowles

by

Join the Museum of Fine Arts Boston on Wednesday, May 1 at 7 pm for an exciting evening of fashion stories with Vogue’s international editor-at-large Hamish Bowles in conversation with Michelle Finamore, Penny Vinik Curator of Fashion Arts. Bowles’s deep knowledge of fashion, art, and history has informed his writing, collecting, and acclaimed curatorial projects, which have included “Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years,” “Balenciaga and Spain”, “House Style: Five Centuries of Fashion at Chatsworth,” and most recently, the fashion exhibition on royal dress featured in the film Ocean’s 8. Tickets are required, (MFA member price $35, nonmembers $44) and we are featuring this rather early since the Remis Auditorium is sure to sell out. To order tickets by phone or to put your name on a wait list, call 1-800-440-6975 ($6 processing fee applies); to order in person, visit any MFA ticket desk.

Japan Society of Boston invites you to travel to Hyogo Prefecture, June 24 – July 1, 2019. Our eight-day trip will include a three-night homestay and insider tours of famous landmarks and local gems including Himeji, and Awaji-shima. The cost is around $2,700, all-inclusive, with airfare, lodging, and most meals included. Children and seniors are encouraged to attend. Join us for the Japan trip you have been pining for, alongside your fellow JSB members.

This Open House and Information Session on Wednesday, January 9 will introduce the Japan/America Grassroots Summit – the program with which we travel – a decades-old tour and homestay program that celebrates the legacy of friendships that uphold the peace between our nations. It gives travelers many memorable experiences organized by local volunteers in Japan. This includes the rare privilege of staying with a Japanese host family. More than 100 people from across America will participate with us in Hyogo.

We hope this information session with Ms. Chika Aoki will be a nice opportunity for us to meet you and make sure the trip is organized in an ideal way for each member. Feel free to bring food and eat while we talk.  Two time options are available, 12:30 pm or 5:30 pm.  The sessions take place at 50 Milk St., 18th Floor “Hemingway” Room in Boston.

Registration for the trip is handled by our partner organization: The Manjiro-Whitfield Commemorative Center for International Exchange. Registration is open now at http://manjiro.or.jp/e/summit/hyogo/.
