GTC : Spirit Art MicroGallery

Spirit art explores the creativity at the heart of the human, a sacred expression sharing an ecology of worlds, entities, beings, landscapes and experiences from the more-than-human world. Spirit art crosses over times and places, it is a thread that weaves through the collective history of all human cultures. It links together interconnected art genres including fantastic art, indigenous art, fantasy art, spiritual art, shamanic art, visionary art, entheo art, magical realism, imaginal realism, and surrealism.
Individual cards may grace altars, mantles, fridges and lockers as objects of beauty and ritual tools. Sets of cards can be organized into ‘micro-galleries’ for displays on walls, workspaces and gallery installations. A full deck of cards may be used an as oracle connecting to a diversity of divinatory systems. The project is an art culture community building initiative intending to inspire the collective evolution of conscious creative process while promoting art and artists worldwide.
