Tibetan Cultural Arts
August 18 through November 8, 2015
opening reception
Friday, September 4, 5:30 to 8:00 pm
The Holter Museum is pleased to present The Art of Healing, an exhibition that brings together illustrations and cultural objects related to traditional Tibetan medical practices with stunning portraits by Jeff Van Tine. Constructed firmly on tenets of Buddhism and Tibetan spirituality, Tibetan healing practices are holistic and place great significance on balance amongst the many aspects of the human experience. Through medical illustrations, or thangkas, ritual objects, and deeply intimate photographs, this exhibition explores the tightly woven cultural, artistic, and medical practices of Tibetan healing traditions.
As the final exhibit of the 2015 Cultural Crossroads program, the msueum will be hosting a number of related programs and events. An opening reception for the season will be held on Friday, September 4th from 5:30 to 8:00 pm. A lecture is also being scheduled for the morning of Saturday, September 19th, with a Tibetan Family Day also planned for Saturday, September 26th. The exhibit will also feature an interactive mandala; a facilitator will be available on Sunday, October 4th and Saturday, October 10th. Please watch www.holtermuseum.org for details and updates.
