The Lotus Flower: Art Blooms on O’Neill Plaza
A symbol of culture, art and reflection, the Lotus Flower has been chosen for this year’s form for the Arts Festival Collaborative Sculpture Project. Lotus flower is a symbol of enlightenment and purity of the mind. As the lotus grows out of the still water and mud of the pond it leaves the mud (worldly existence) behind to emerge straight toward the sky, appear clean on the surface (purity) and blossoms into a beautiful flower (enlightenment). All performing, literary, visual and cultural art groups are invited to reflect and bring their sculpture to life: O’Neill Plaza will be blooming with art!
Adopt a Lotus Flower and make it your own. Embellish it! Paint it! Bring it to Life!
Professional sculptor and Fine Arts professor Mark Cooper will build the basic sculpture, and your organization can design and embellish it to promote your group’s mission. Once completed, the sculptures will appear in buildings throughout campus and will come together to form an exhibition on O’Neill Plaza during the Arts Festival. This is a great opportunity to promote your organization on campus and to the community using your collective creativity. You could even win prize money!
