Art of Buddhism July 20, 2010

The Ann Arbor Zen Buddhist Temple will celebrate Art Fair week with tours of the Temple gardens and presentations on Buddhism and art.

On Tuesday, July 20th, visitors can enjoy guided tours of the Temple ornamental and vegetable gardens beginning at 3:00 pm. At 7:30 that evening, Carolyn Putney, Interim Deputy Director and Curator of Asian Art at the Toledo Museum of Art, will speak on the migration of Buddhism across the Orient, using illustrations from the Museum’s Asian collections.

The Temple will also offer an exhibition of Buddhist works of art, featuring items from its own and private collections. The exhibition will be open to the public during the hours of the garden tours and before and after the evening presentations.

All events will take place at the Temple, which is located at 1214 Packard Street, just north of the intersection of Packard and Granger Street in Ann Arbor.

This event is open to the public.
