ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Julia Mechler-Craft
Born in the U.S. and raised in Japan, I grew up between two cultures. Japanese traditional dance and calligraphy have been part of my life since childhood.
Through international art collaborations and cultural productions, I have worked to bring Japanese artists and performers to new audiences. My gallery concept grows from that same desire: to share the art and culture that shaped me.
