ACTA Presents: How do I know what is beautiful?
February 22, 2012 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FREEIn coordination with the Red Poppy Art House, the Alliance for California Traditional Arts (ACTA) presents:
La Mesa: “How do I know what is beautiful? An Exploration of Differing Aesthetics from the Traditional Arts Point of View”
What is necessary to understand about culturally specific forms to appreciate them? What is valued as beauty in form? Smooth lines over rough texture? Color choices? Flat feet vs. pointed toe? Falsetto singing? Three artists/organizations will share their art forms to address the culturally specific “”through lines” that most people may not be aware of. The discussion is open to all tradition and tradition based artists and interested public.
Featuring performances by traditional artists including Indian dancers, Aztec regalia makers, and a hula master.
See the event posting on ACTA’s site here.
Free // Questions or to RSVP: lilyk@actaonline.org / 415.346.5200
The Traditional Arts Roundtable Series will offer two kinds of programs throughout the year:
*Skill Building Sessions to hone your ability to tell your story and seek out potential grant sources.
*La Mesa Sessions, named after the proverbial table where we can share food, drink, and conversation in an intimate and relaxed matter where ideas and art sharing can flow naturally.
