“Cutting East to West” celebrates the diversity of cut paper art across the world. Papercutting as an art originated in Asia and has since spread across the globe, branching into regionally distinct styles and techniques. Representing these traditional styles and contemporary approaches, members of the Guild of American Papercutters (GAP) converge at the Museum of Asian Art to share their passion for the art of papercutting.  

Juror Randall Williams selected “All Souls”, which is the only self-lit papercut in the exhibit.

Gallery open Wednesday – Sunday 11 am – 5 pm.
