Our panelists will describe how their work intersects with their spiritual practice. In the modern world being a full-time artist is often at odds with being self-supporting, yet people do it anyway. Sometimes we feel that we have no choice about this. Art is a compulsion, a need. It is also a service to the community, as is being a healer, diviner or shaman. Many artists work with deities, others don’t. Some do their work in sacred space, others see the whole physical world as sacred. Looking for four panelists who can talk about their relationship with their art and muses and geniuses, as well as involving those in the audience who also feel the calling.

This is a piece by Sophia Schultz who won the arts competition the year that the theme was Communication. If the community would like to see another art competition or display, please say so on the Facebook page!
