The practice of dharma art
is a way to use our lives
to communicate without
confusion the primordial
and magical nature
of what we see, hear,
and
touch.

genuine art tells the
truth Shambhala Art is a non-profit arts education program designed to awaken the creative and viewing processes through meditation and contemplation.
To artist or non-artist, the creative process often seems
mysterious and magical. How do we give a physical reality to
some ephemeral inspiration and in turn communicate its essential
nature beyond the limits of its container? Shambhala Art’s
purpose is to explore 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 just how we think or imagine they are. Shambhala Art does not teach a particular skill or technique
such as painting, sculpture, or dance. It is about the source
of inspiration, its manifestation, and how it speaks to us.
Once a view and a path are established it can be put into
practice within any artistic discipline.
Without seeing things as they are, it is hard to
create art. Source: Shambhala Art website
