+ | o Ubud Diary is a new art gallery in Ubud with the mission to raise the profile of the | ||
+ | historical Ubud School of Painting. It is planning its grand opening late in | ||
+ | November 2019 with a group exhibition of works by senior artists of the Ubud | ||
+ | School, including the launch of the book 'Ubud Diary: Celebrating the Ubud School | ||
+ | of Painting - the diversity of the visual language" written by me and translated into | ||
+ | Bahasa Indonesian by Richard Nixon Tambalo. Ubud Diary's annual exhibition | ||
+ | program will include three solo exhibitions by senior artists, along with one annual | ||
+ | event in Jakarta. The renown Ubud School of Painting which was 'founded' in the | ||
+ | late 1920s - early 1930s in Ubud is destined to die out, through its program of | ||
+ | exhibitions, book and catalogues, and other annual events Ubud Diary's vision is | ||
+ | to reignite the genre and encourage regeneration that can lead to its future | ||
+ | sustainability. | ||
