event | Everyday Peace Art Exhibit
Sep 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2020
September 21, 2020 marks the 39th Anniversary of the International Day of Peace.
Established by the United Nations, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences, and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace. In 2012 Sedona was honored to receive a proclamation from the UN becoming the 35th International City of Peace.
The 2020 #peaceday theme is “Shaping Peace Together” and encourages all to celebrate the day by spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the pandemic
Goldenstein Gallery supports Peace through the Arts with their Everyday Peace Exhibit at L’Auberge de Sedona.
Guests may pick up an Art Map in the lobby and self-tour throughout the renowned resort to see exhibits curated by Linda Goldenstein of paintings, maquette, monumental and life-size sculpture by such artists as Shey Khandro, Ali Mignonne, David Phelps, James Muir, Cheston Trammel, Ben Wright, Patricia Griffin, John Waddell and more.
In the Peace Garden, guests are invited to spin Khandro’s Wheel of Compassion releasing over a billion prayers for Peace, Love and Compassion. David Phelps’ monumental Pastoral Dreamer invites us to take a deep breath and relax. Close by, James Muir reminds us that “The longest journey is the journey within,” with his life size Holy Grail sculpture. Small maquette size sculptures of the Holy Grail are available to see and collect in the Lodge at L’Auberge. Last year, Muir’s monumental “Christ of the Holy Cross” was installed in Sedona’s iconic Chapel of the Holy Cross. The maquette bronze sculpture of this poignant piece can be seen and collected at the Chapel.
Visit the Cress Exhibit to ring and feel the beautiful resonance of Cheston Trammel’s bell sculptures including the “Inner Peace” bell topped with a lit amethyst crystal and the 6’ tall “Inner Clarity” bell that is topped by a lit clear quartz crystal. Also enjoy new vibrant and peaceful 3-D multi-media paintings by Ali Mignonne inspired by trees, water and nature.
In the Art in the Lodge exhibit see paintings by Ben Wright depicting the teachings and healing knowledge of the Lakota tradition, Carla Romero’s “Elders” series and Patricia Griffin’s lifelike oil paintings capturing the personality of wildlife in nature. Many landscapes are in this exhibit that take one to a place of peace.
