Community Engagement
Nan Tien Art Gallery
Venerable Master believes that art is a powerful tool that can be used to not only provide education but help others. Art is used to inspire profound understanding and resonate with people’s experiences and emotions, as it helps us connect with the beauty inside ourselves. After all, art is made for the appreciation of people.
