Opening Night is May 10 at 7 PM. Everyone welcome.
Visions of Enlightenment will show examples of Buddhist art from the main Buddhist traditions: the Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana.

The Theravada school represents the traditions of the Burmese, Thai and other Southeast Asian communities. A range of media will be represented, including sculptures (made of stone, metal or lacquered wood) paintings, ceramics, manuscripts, and textiles.
Lecture: Visions of Enlightenment, May 13 at 1 PM. Margo Palmer, a Director of the Canadian Society for Asian Arts (CSAA), and curatorial advisor, will present a talk about the exhibition and Buddhist art. (Free with regular admission)
