Tibetan Monks Create Mandalas at the artCenter

We are honored to welcome the Tibetan Monks of Drepung Gomang Monastery to the ArtCenter Museum from february 9 to 16, 2015. The Drepung Gomang monks are renowned for the Sacred Art of Sand Mandala Construction. There will be opening ceremonies, informal conversation and socializing as the intricate, colorful and symbolic mandala is created in the main gallery of the Museum. The public is welcome to gather around the eight monks as they work from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day creating this powerful work of art. When finished, to

symbolize the impermanence of all that exists, the colored sands will be swept up and poured into our ailing Indian River Lagoon to carry healing energy and blessings, as our community joins the monks in a global message of wisdom and compassion.

Tibetan Culture & Culinary EveningEnjoy a very special evening with the monks of the Drepung Gomang Mon-astery. They will lead a Tibetan culinary lesson, making traditional momo’s and naan, and then join us for dinner. The monks will chant food blessings before dinner, as participants enjoy an evening of sharing culture and connection at the Museum. Limited to 25 people.Wed., Feb. 11; 5:30 to 9 p.m. $50

In our outreach program, artReach, we offer art instruction and materials at no cost to underserved populations and programs

where individuals would otherwise have little opportunity to participate in artistically creative processes. We serve students with mental and/or physical handicaps, as well as those who are economically disadvantaged or elderly. Our

programs bring the joy and healing of artistic expression to those where it is lacking, and we also welcome students to our

location to experience the Museum, Gallery & School of Art. Our comprehensive curriculums address the specific needs of these students. In 2014-15, we have the privilege of working with Martin County Special Needs, New Day Adult Care, El Sol Community Resource Center, Jupiter Medical Center, RiverBend Academy, as well as numerous local schools and special needs programs. The positive impact this program has on the individual students and our community is remarkable, and would not be possible without the continued support of our members, donors and grants.To participate, sponsor or contribute to any of these programs, please contact Cynthia Trone, director of Education, at (561) 748-8737.

The Lighthouse ArtCenter is pleased to be collaborating with Bethesda-by-the-Sea in the 2015 Empty Bowls project to benefit Palm Beach County Food Bank. Our local community has come together to help create 1,000 ceramic bowls to donate, in a global effort to help the hungry. Bowls will be sold at the following Empty Bowls events: february 13th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, and

february 14th, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Meyer Amphitheater in West Palm Beach. Five-star restaurants and chefs will create signature soups, and local bakers will provide rustic breads. Guests donate $25, select a ceramic bowl, share in a simple meal of bread and soup and keep their empty bowls as a powerful reminder of all of the bowls that remain empty in Palm Beach County.

Community Outreach

We are pleased to be partnering with the innovative Beyond Blind Institute for our “Brushes of Blindness” program. Our faculty and volunteers welcome visually impaired students twice a month to our art studios. Here they are able to explore the ceramic arts, multi-media sculpture, painting and collage while creating pieces of art to sell on their online gallery.

Every donation means less strain on our budget. Help us keep costs down so we can offer accessible, affordable, quality visual arts exhibitions, performances, classes, workshops, children’s ArtCamps, free community ArtReach and unique special events.

Faculty Visiting ArtistsJim Rigg is a graduate of Wich-ita State University with a Fine Arts degree in Graphics. He is an accomplished watercolorist with an innovative and unique style. "I enjoy experimenta-tion, believing it extends my boundaries, both in conceptual and contemporary watercolor

techniques. My finished paintings are projections of my imagination, and this, for me, is the great adven-ture of painting: the exploitation of areas where the imagination can take over and intuitively guide the hand. The challenges to me are inventive composi-tions, varied textures and color exploration - offering each painting a sense of time, space and solitude."

Tracey Roedl has had more than 40 years in the jewelry industry. Studies with The Gemological Institute of Amer-ica have earned her a GIA Dia-monds Graduate Degree along with Pearl Grading and Colored Stones Certificates. She is work-ing towards her Graduate Gem-
