Short artist statement if you are the creator of the artwork. (optional and max 50 words)

Also be sure to include a jpg (1mb to 2 mb in size) of your painting or object. Please ensure a sharp image as it will be featured in an online catalogue, as well as used for reference in curating the show.

Artworks would need to be delivered to the Centre by midday Friday 11 October, either on weekdays between 9am and 12 noon, or before your study group, meditation session, or class. Alternatively, make an arrangement with Sthiraratna.
