ARTemple with Ross Ellenhorn May 18th - Cardea

Join Cardea’s co-founder and master of Play Dr. Ross Ellenhorn at ARTemple—a space to co-create art from a place of inner guidance, instead of guidelines. This space is fitting for anyone, no art experience required. Through pen, pencil, charcoal, and paint, we’ll meet each other in a place of creativity, improvisation, and connection.

“It’s not what you see that is art; art is the gap,” wrote great Dadaist artist Marcel Duchamp. Art is always about the middle land we call relationship or encounter—the ineffable terrain of the in-between—that space we all know as real since we all feel most real when we’re there. At Cardea, we see this space as a kind of holy site, a secularly sacred realm in which we “encounter encounter,” or have a “relationship with relationship,” as we put it. And we see it this way because we believe that it is in the land of the threshold where we come alive, experience the aliveness in others, and—again—encounter the life that courses between us.

 

The famous theologian Martin Buber wrote that “All real living is meeting.” We think he’s exactly right.  And at our monthly ARTemple, we meet in the deepest way through the making of art. Expect no sermons, no hagiarchy or hierarchy, and only the graceful act of conjuring life through pen, pencil, charcoal, and paint.

 

This process is less “art for art’s sake” than art for relating, connecting and the experience of the “thou.”  There is absolutely zero need for artistic skill at ARTemple and you will not learn new skills either!  Also, feel very free to bring the kids. They have a lot to teach us.
