These teachings encourage the creation and manifestation of art that wakes up the viewer as well as its maker to a sense of unconditional sacredness within the phenomenal world.
"A work of art is created because there is basic sacredness, independent of the artist's particular religious faith or trust. Sacredness from that point of view is the discovery of goodness, which is independent of personal, social, or physical restrictions." Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Dharma Art pg. 112
Festival events have included performances, art exhibitions, poetry, videos presentations, field trips, talks, demonstrations and children’s programs. Examples of previous festival celebrations can be found at : www.shambhalaart.org under the link Shambhala Art Day. Stay tuned as plans for the 2009 Los Angeles festival develop.
