Susan Woltz Gallery hosts 'Seeds of Compassion' a Dalai Lama Event
SEATTLE, WA - Seeds of Compassion, an initiative dedicated to focusing world attention on the importance of social and emotional development of children, today announced that a “What Does Compassion Look Like” Paint Dancing event will be offered for free to children at the First Thursday Art Walk in Pioneer Square on April 3 2008 beginning at 5 pm outside the Susan Woltz Gallery. The event is in conjunction with the April 11-15th visit to Seattle by His Holiness the Dalai Lama for the five-day Seeds of Compassion event.
The free event is open to the public; parents are invited to bring their children and have fun with music, dancing and art. Children must be accompanied by an adult to participate.
The “What Does Compassion Look Like” campaign brings children of all ages, their parents, teachers and anyone that touches a child’s life together in an artful way, by encouraging kids to express what compassion looks like to them through drawing, painting, music, poems or dance. The work they create will be exhibited at the Susan Woltz Gallery as well as other local galleries, museums, businesses, and hospitals in April and beyond. The artwork will also be featured at the Seeds of Compassion events April 11th-15th at Key Arena and Q’west Field. The campaign is designed to instill the qualities of compassion through the pure and awe-inspiring ways children express themselves.
The Susan / Woltz Gallery in Pioneer Square and Gasworks Art Gallery are joining together to lead the children in this fun and creative event. Paint Dancing was created by artist Matt Jones, who opens his Gasworks Art Gallery to the public every 3rd Thursday to create art in rhythm to a variety of music. Paint Dancing has been featured on Evening Magazine.
