Free watercolour paint night offered at Selkirk College Submitted A free watercolour paint night will be offered at Selkirk College in the Early Childhood Educa- tion building on Tuesday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m My name is Keith Shel- fontiuk, and I have been involved in the fine arts for most of my life. I attended Kootenay School of Art and was granted a certificate in 1977. I majored in pottery only to become interested in water- colour a number of years later. I'm currently working in this medium and have been doing so for about the last five years. The idea behind having a paint night, is to get water- colour artists together one night a week, therefore committing ourselves to the art We can experience painting with each other, and learning and sharing our knowledge To make this night a success, interest has to be shown. To” register for this evening, or for more information, contact me at the number below. Everyone is welcome...from beginners to more advanced artists. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Gold will introduce the audi- ence to universal symbols and concepts of the ideal con- sciousness and vital force as embodied in their sacred visual art, dance, chants, and prayers. Art for spirit's sake is the foremost goal of creativity in non-Western cultures. Rather than making personal state- ments through their artwork, people who are committed to the. sacred way of life express the divine qualities which abide in the cosmos-at-large and in the universe within. Peter Gold holds degrees in psychology and anthropology and has studied the philosophy religion, arts and way of life of native cultures fromm three con- tinents, focusing intensively on Tibetans, Navajos and the Inuit. He was Research Assistant to Dr. Margaret Mead, and also to the Museum of Man in Ottawa and curator at Indiana University Anthropology and Folklore Museum. He is currently in the anthro- pology faculty of the Califor- nia Institute of Integral Studies. He travels and lectures widely and is the author of the books: Tibetan Reflections, Tibetan Pilgrimage, Alter of the Earth, and the forthcoming Circle of the Spirit: The Sacred Journey of Tibetans and Nava- jo Indians He has written numerous articles and collaborated on a series of on-location L.P recofding of the music and rit- uals of many of the people he has visited and studied. He also performs world music on native instruments and sculpts. In a manner similar to the explorations of Joseph Camp- bell in his Power of Myth ‘series, Peter Gold explores sacred mipd through the arts of consciousness of the Yupik Inuit, the Tibetans and Navajo Indians. He has been described as a “brilliant and inspiring speaker’ by his audiences. The German scholar, Ana- garika Govinda regarded Peter Gold highly and said of him, “He sees through the eyes of the poet and heart of lover.” This is a Tashi Choling Society Fundraising event, call 359- 7440 for more information.
