Lessons on Japanese art, led by our amazing art historian member, Amalia Spiliakou continues.

Over the course of the program, we will explore the visual culture of Japan from its earliest expressions to the present day. Along the way, we will encounter the serene world of Buddhist sculpture and temple architecture, the quiet elegance of Zen ink painting and the tea ceremony, the vibrant colors of ukiyo-e woodblock prints, and the ways Japanese aesthetics have shaped, and been shaped by, the art of the West.

Each lesson will offer a fresh perspective on the ideas, beliefs, and craftsmanship behind these remarkable works.

The lessons take place every other Wednesday at 11:00 am at the American Farm School Library at Princeton Hall. Lessons start on the following dates:

📅 4 and 18 November

📅 2, 16 and 30 December…

Whether you are a longtime admirer of Japanese culture or encountering it for the first time, you are most welcome to join us.

NOVEMBER 2026
President's Message

There is always a great feeling of expectancy about November because we are approaching the festive season and of course November is an important month for IWOG as we organize our famous Christmas fund raising event. Reading newspapers every day and listening to news reports brings home to us the importance of organisations like IWOG that help the needy through the valuable work of members.

The Christmas bazaar is an opportunity for us all to cooperate. The Board has already started working hard to make it successful but naturally, we can’t do it alone. You may ask yourself, how can I help? Well, one answer is that you could offer homemade savories or sweets or second hand goods like jewellery, accessories, clothes, jumble sale items, books toys, ornaments and so on. You can also volunteer your time for a few hours to serve refreshments like pitas, cakes, sandwiches or beverages or even advertise our event to relatives, neighbours and friends and to sell raffle tickets –three euros each or five euros for two. There are plenty of wonderful prizes to suit every taste.
