Art and the Roots of Peace
In support of global week's theme the ANITA SEIPP GALLERY will host an educational poster exhibit, sponsored by the Missing Peace Project: Artists Interpret the Dalai Lama. These works examine the Dalai Lama’s aesthetics of compassion and impermanence and the peaceful unity of all things. In addition to the posters, original limited edition prints and a large scale painting by Filippo Di Sambuy will be on view for the month of January. Castilleja students will be engaged in studying these works and making their own artistic contributions to the greater goal of understanding and ameliorating the roots of peace. For an virtual tour of the original exhibit visit the link: http://gallery.tmpp.org/gallery/en/index.jsp or contact our gallery director, Deborah Trilling at dtrilling@castilleja.org. |
