The Japan Foundation, in cooperation with the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, the Asian art museums at the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.), will organize the Tawaraya Sōtatsu exhibition focusing on the works by this Japanese artist of the early Edo period. The exhibition will open on October 24, 2015 run through January 31, 2016.
This exhibition will present approximately 50 works by Sōtatsu and his circle of painters, renowned for their decorative style, along with around 15 modern era paintings from the 1910s onwards (Taishō and later eras) that were influenced by Sōtatsu, to provide a clear sense of how Sōtatsu's arts continue to resonate with artists even today.

Title: Article: Opera Singers Perfect Their German at Middleburg
Body:
At 100-Year-Old Middlebury Language School, Opera Singers Perfect Their German
By Patti Daniels
July 15, 2015
Every summer for the past 100 years, Middlebury College has hosted an unusual language study program: students sign a pledge that they will only communicate and interact in the language they are studying for the entire six or seven weeks of the program.
Eleven languages are taught using this strict immersion approach, and the programs attract students who range from art history undergraduates, to business people, to ... sopranos? One specialty program among the traditional language programs is German for Singers, a course that attracts aspiring professional opera singers.
