Special Event
Art Making Through the Ecstatic Experience
Saturday, May 11
5:00 p.m. inside the Library

Local artist Bret Arenson has explored the use of the ecstatic experience as a creative impetus in both visual arts and in performance. After discovering an automatic response within him on a fateful night fifteen years ago, he has applied this ecstatic response to a wide variety of creative projects, including ongoing street performances and large scale ambient works. Bret will talk about his experiences in the unfolding of his ecstatic discoveries, his application of ecstatic automatism to the art making process, and bringing forth creative ecstatic experience into a modern context. Bret Arenson's exhibit "Forest Fog (Afterglow In The Elements)" is on display inside the Sausalito Library through May 11.
