Art Committee
"Art has the power of fusion. It brings people together, awakening them to their common foundation as human beings through its universal qualities. It creates a world of humanism that enables people everywhere to respect one another's lifestyles and traditional cultures, and to share with and learn from one another.
That's because it is a world that respects and guarantees human rights." (Daisaku Ikeda)
The Arts Division, a division of the Culture Department, exists to support
and encourage SGI members who are artists -- writers, musicians, dancers,
graphic artists, computer artists, actors, stage crew, weavers, etc. -- as
well as those interested in the arts as consumers.
Our goal is to use our art to bring people together and create value.
Arts Division activities include:
- discussion and study meetings focused on the arts,
- hands-on workshops (collages, origami, poetry, journaling)
- field trips to museums and exhibitions
- graphic support for gatherings or festivals (e.g., banners, props), and
- in-service presentations (e.g., "Buddhism and the Arts").
Meetings and activities are open to all members and guests.
