OM yoga-NYC is proud to present a call for submissions to:

OM’s Loving Kindness Art Show
Curated by Cyndi Lee, Founder, OM yoga

The annual OM yoga Month of LovingKindness Art Show...invites yogi and yogini artists to offer expressions of lovingkindness.  This year, for the first time, we will have two sections to our art show -- one for adults and one just for kid artists. Please invite your own kids and kids you know to make art based on their experience of lovingkindness. Kids are often our best reminders of the true meaning of heart, or hriyadam (Sanskrit) which translates as "that which gives, receives and circulates."

“The word kindness is related to kin or kindred.  When we recognize others as the same kind as us, our kindred spirit, we begin to connect to them in a non-conceptual, feeling way."  -Cyndi Lee

Submissions will be evaluated by the quality of work, balance of overall works and how clearly Loving Kindness has been expressed.   This call for submissions includes non-performance discipline including displayable disciplines such as written essay, poetry, photography, sculpture, visual art, etc. or any combination which expresses Loving Kindness.

 Artist’s work will:
-be part of an art opening Friday, February 10, 2006 and on display at OM until Monday, April 10, 2006.
-have a numbered title, name, date, and materials card and information for purchasable works
-Artists chosen will receive a five (5) class card to OM yoga classes as honorariums 
-The show will be included in OM yoga’s mailing list, press materials, ads, web & schedule.
