Plan your visit to PAFA to see Pictures of Belonging on its first public day of exhibition—Friday, October 10, 2025.

Member Preview Hour: 10-11 AM
Public Hours: 11 AM-4 PM

Pictures of Belonging brings together—for the first time—the work of three pioneering Japanese American women artists, Miki Hayakawa, Hisako Hibi, and Miné Okubo, whose lives and art were shaped by the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans. Featuring over 70 paintings, drawings, and sketchbooks, this nationally touring exhibition reveals a broader, more inclusive picture of the American experience across eight decades.
