Experience the Art of Play!

Experience the art of play at Asobi at JANM, our new series once a month where local artists showcase their unique work through interactive demonstrations and every guest goes home with a new art piece and sense of accomplishment. 

Bring your friends, grab a drink, and try something new together. Enjoy beer from Brewyard Beer Company. We will also have drinks from Sanzo and light refreshments available. You’re welcome to bring your own food to the program or pre-order bentos from Little Tokyo businesses for fast and easy pickup. All guests must be over the age of 21 with valid, physical photo ID. Workshops are suitable for all skill levels and all materials and technical assistance will be provided by JANM.
