________________ Art Exhibit Saturday, 8/28-Saturday, 9/4 Salon V, Upper Exhibition Hall "1993 Parliament Exhibit: Art and the Spirit" It is said that the act of creating sacred imagery, done purely, actually beckons the deity or spirit that is being painted, sculpted or photographed. Undertaken in a true spirit of devotion, sacred art implores the veils between the heavens and the earth to disappear. In the simplicity of ancient cultures, creative hands were inspired by the reverence of heart and soul. There are artists today still moved by this simplicity of spirit. In the purity of creation, and in their passion, they evoke their God. The CPWR is honored to bring together many fine artists in this exhibition in whose work the sacred is called forth. A ceremony to open the exhibit will be held on Tuesday, 8/31, during the lunch break from noon to 2pm in the Salons, located in the upper exhibition hall of the hotel. All Parliament participants are invited to attend this special event. The Council and Program Staff wish to extend their profound gratitude to the following for their help in coordinating this exhibit: Mr. Salvatore Conti-Director of Art at Kashi Foundation, founded by Ma Jaya.
