Water Sacred Water

Water and Earth. We live in a time of limbo between the concrete and the ephemeral, not knowing our future nor our collective past!

Please enjoy these photos of the Quarry and visit Hannah’s website for images of the dancers and the whole story.

“We drive by this quarry many times a year. It is so spectacular. In all our wildest dreams, we never thought we would see a dance performance there. This project has truly changed how we see this place.”

Lion Roar : Energetic Healing and Flowing Compassion

Lion Roar : Energetic Healing and Flowing Compassion will open ONLINE Monday May 18 and run thru Monday June 22, 2020. The focus of this early summer show is both prayerful as we come out of the worst of the Corona Virus pandemic and wild as we reclaim our energy and hope. Apparently under the right conditions the lion roar can be heard for miles across the landscape and is a form of communication - in light of this the roar we are projecting from the Gallery is one of Energetic Healing and Flowing Compassion.

Our GreenTARA festival events will be on Saturday May 23, please check in for coming details. Events to look forward to include a circle dance led by Janice Walrafen to express the 21 Qualities of Tara’s enlightened activities (and as created by Prema Desara, founder of Tara Dhatu and co-creator of the Tara Dances); a Mandala workshop; and a film.

Meanwhile we are highlighting 3 artists: Janice Walrafen (the example of her tile work below is from the series Grief and Praise that she developed after her 7-day walk-about fast in 2012), Suki Ciappara with her needle-felted fiber art shields, and Diane Gayer’s weavings based on the Five Elements.

"Where do you draw the line?" art show continues with special events Sept. 21 and 22, 2019.

where do you draw the line? This show is about exploring the effect that borders have on habitat: human, environmental, and spiritual. Our existence has always depended on moving, migrating, and adapting as conditions change. So what are the implications of drawing lines across space?

In Barbara Waters’ work, we see her create from the experience of encountering a wall cutting through our protected lands. And in Tuyen My Nguyen’s installation, we have string as line building a boundary through which we cannot pass.

The show's not over...

The show's not over...

John Douglas w/ Diane Gayer at “Of Earth: Image and Clay” — the show’s not over… which means we have a long way to go still on this planet Earth, despite the “Auto-Warming” CGI Prints. But how we proceed is the question? Both Ojihozo and Rock Formations can remind us that there is more. And as Sarah Rosedahl says in her art poster: “Make America Kind Again”… So let the Beauty of the Universe shine thru!

Clay Workshop & Firing

Clay Workshop & Firing

Joan Watson’s Clay Workshop was great fun. 10 attendees was about all the workshop space at the Gallery can accommodate, and we filled it.. Everyone learned (or relearned) about clay, working it, and forming it. Joan’s the best! letting pieces dry, get ready for burnishing or firing happened out side in the sun and wind. The class firing was cancelled due to massive storm threats, but a sub-group tried it on their own. Most of the pieces turned into archeological bits… Ah maybe better luck next year!
