Description

Since the time of the Neolithic European cave drawings and aboriginal rock paintings, the Arts have been an integral part of the spiritual expression, evoking the deepest human passions and emotions, as well as our connection to other dimensions. What makes art sacred? What kinds of transcendent states and spiritual realms have artists tried to invoke and evoke? Does the creative spirit lie within the artist, or is it channeled through the artist from a higher power? This program explores these questions and more.
