| Shambhala Arts Festival, March 27 - 29, 2008 Genuine art reveals the truth. Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche This third annual observance of the Festival gathers 15 area artists, provides opportunities for visitors to participate in Shambhala Art, and helps establish the roots of enlightened society. Shambhala Art explores the creative and viewing processes and the product we call art from the viewpoint of a meditative discipline. It is a viewpoint that encourages us to see things as they are, rather than how we imagine they are. Participating artists work in painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, and other mediums, and include Aurore Chabot, Sarah Cotton, Bryan Crow, Sloane Haywood, Philip Inzel, Mike Keller, Lynette Lakshmeena, Mary Anne Lisney, Jan McDonald, Nancy McDonald, Scott Nicholson, Katrina 'sKip' Steib, William Thompson, Dennie Work, and Richard Zelens. The Festival offers visitors the opportunity to explore the processes and products of Shambhala Art, through the artists' works as well as through readings, discussion, and a clay meditation led by Festival Coordinator Aurore Chabot on Saturday. Although the Shambhala Art teachings are inspired by Shambhala Buddhism, they are not in any way religious or about adopting a religion. Joining meditation and contemplation with art making and art viewing is pre-religion. The teachings are about discovery and play, and the universal nature of the creative and viewing process and what the result communicates. Schedule: March 27 - 29 Thursday, March 27, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. Exhibition opens. Friday, March 28, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. Opening Reception. Readings and Discussion. At 6:30, a performance by Mike Keller. Saturday, March 29, 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. Last day of exhibition. Working with Clay Meditation led by Aurore Chabot. Call for Volunteers! We invite all to help make this third annual observance of the Shambhala Arts Festival a joyous event.
