The traveling art exhibiton Sweetcake Enso, which visited several New York-area centers in the fall of 2010 before heading to the Village Zendo in January 2011 (when the area received a record three feet of snowfall, on top of nearly two feet that fell on December 26th) is setting up shop at San Francisco Zen Center tomorrow, April 29th until May 29th. The Artists’ Reception will be tomorrow night from 7 PM to 9 PM. Read more about this month-long exhibition here.
Sweetcake Enso is a traveling art exhibit started by the Empty Hand Zen Center in New Rochelle, New York. Artists from many different sanghas have been invited to join the show, which is traveling to Zen centers and Buddhist communities all over the country. Before heading to the west coast, the show has visited three New York-area centers: the Empty Hand Zen Center in New Rochelle, the Brooklyn Zendo, and the Village Zendo in Greenwich Village. A full schedule of visits and centers is on the Sweetcake Endo site.
