Life Force Arts Center - Where Art Meets Spirit

Welcome To Life Force Arts Center

The mission of Life Force Arts Foundation (LFA) is to present artistically excellent visual, literary, and performing art for creating spiritual awakening and transformation. We define spiritual art as art that flows from spiritual practice, art that strives to connect the audience with Spirit, and art that creates spiritual revival, healing, or evolution. LFA advances the field of spiritual art through events and publications that promote awareness of the art-spirituality connection. The arts are a common ground of human expression, where artists and audiences of diverse spiritual traditions can share their personal and collective experiences of the spiritual aspect of life. Life Force Arts Foundation operates Life Force Arts Center (LFAC), Chicago's spiritual art gallery and performance space, which presents visual art exhibits, dance, theater and music performances, author book signings and workshops with artists who are experts in spiritual artmaking.

Life Force Arts Foundation was founded in 1988 as a non-profit, tax exempt 501 (c) 3 organization to present the modern dance and performance work of Joan Forest Mage (www.joanforestmage.com). As Joan developed the deeper, spiritual aspects of her work as shamanic practice, the company grew to support the exploration of the art-spirituality connection. Life Force Arts Center opened in 2008.

The Earth formed from stone more than 4 billion years ago, and stone still speaks to us through the ancient minerals contained in every bone and cell in our bodies. We are all echoes of Earth herself.

Ancient Voices of Stone features visually stunning, deeply moving photographs, paintings and installations of stone that may change the way you see the world and your place in it. Spectacular images of some the oldest rock and mineral formations in the world are on display, taken by L. Sue Baugh, who traveled to remote regions in Greenland, Australia, Canada and the United States to commune with stones that are up to 4 billion years old. These stones from Earth’s Deep Time speak with a wisdom far surpassing human knowledge. Ms. Baugh's book with the photographs of her journey, Echoes of Earth: Finding ourselves in the origins of the planet, represents a true labor of love. Visit www.wildstonearts.com Ancient Voices of Stone also features the crystal and stone sculptural art of Steven Blaine Adams, stone carvings by John Henderson and oil painting by Joann Rea.
