The curator is Michael Gentile, President of M.Gentile Studios, Inc., Hayashi's long-time friend and consultant. M.Gentile Studios prepared most of her works for exhibition throughout her career.
Three other of Northeast Ohio's premier art venues - The Akron Art Museum 
, MOCA Cleveland and SPACES - will also mount an exhibition under the title Masumi Hayashi, Meditations, that will be on view at approximately the same time over three months, from October 27 through January 27, 2008.
