Art & Soul Cafe

Art & Soul Cafe We hope to stimulate a deeper sense of community by rooting our programs in compassion, social justice, and non-violence. I'll meet you there.

Art & Soul Cafe is dedicated to creating events and programs that stimulate a deeper experience of community through the power of the arts and interspiritual dialogue. Our aim now, as it was in the past, is dedicated to supporting artists as well as using art to awaken the human spirit weaving poetry, music, visual art, and movement into an evening event that integrates the wisdom of other culture

s and spiritual traditions with activities to enhance our creativity. We are dedicated to creating diverse events and programs that invite closer examination of the ways spirituality intersects with the arts, sciences, media, politics, and the environment. Creating beauty in uncertain times describes our mission simply and accurately. The mystic poet, Rumi, says:

Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing,
there is a field. When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase
each other
doesn't make any sense.

Dear Friends of Art & Soul Cafe,

Art & Soul Cafe as a 501c3 is drawing to a close, after four years at Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis, MO starting in 2004 and continuing as a moveable feast from 2012 to present. We are proud of all the programs that were created by an outstanding community of artists and supporters through the years!

When a 501c3 dissolves, the tradition is to pick another of a similar mission to pass on any remaining resources and support. We have chosen Living Arts Studio in Maplewood. Check them out at http://www.livingartsstudio.org/

So, we are having a final goodbye party for Art & Soul Cafe and a hello to Living Arts Studio on Friday, July 29, 2016 at 6:00 at the Living Arts Studio, 2814 Sutton Blvd., Maplewood, MO 63143.

Here’s the really fun part! Kelly Larson of Living Arts, and many of the regular artists at the studio, are sewing messenger bags, purses, and various sized bags out of the painted canvases that many of us painted at Art & Soul Cafe events through the years! Attached are photos of the original canvases and some of the newly created bags. We’ll be selling those at the event on July 29, with all funds going to Living Arts Studio. What a wonderful memento of Art & Soul Cafe!

Please RSVP to artandsoulcafe@me.
com. We will have refreshments from The Living Room http://www.arthousecoffees.com/, award winning roasters and cafe next to Living Arts! And as a special treat, Dan Rubright, former musical director of Art & Soul Cafe, will provide music.

Hope to see you there!
