Moments of Radiance: Art by Amita Bhakta
March 19 - April 30
Chitrasutra, a 5th or 6th-century Sanskrit text about art, says “Art is not for worldly pleasure; it is to take one on the path of spiritual experience, to Divinity.” This tenet will be on full display in Moments of Radiance, an upcoming exhibition by India-born artist Amita Bhakta, who says that her time creating art in her studio is “a profound experience for me.” Each painting in this exhibition serves as a visual interpretation of inspirational lines from ancient Sanskrit texts and literature.
The exhibition will be part of Darshan: Visions of India, a series of exhibitions, performances, discussions, and special events hosted by the Tennessee Valley Art Association.
Admission to the Tennessee Valley Museum of Art is $5 for adults, $3 for children, and free for TVAA members. Admission will be free on March 19, starting at 2 pm, for the opening festival of Darshan: Visions of India.
This exhibition is made possible by grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
