Torpedo Factory Art Center Exhibitions

Every two years the Sogetsu DC Branch puts in an exhibition of Sogetsu Ikebana in the Art League Gallery of the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, VA.  The Sogetsu arrangers choose a work of art from one of the participating artists.  An ikebana, made in one of the participating potter's containers, is displayed with the art work. Our ikebana arrangers always find inspiration and excitement in this exhibition.
