Lotus and Lion, an international exhibition of contemporary Buddhist and Hindu spiritual art, returns to Shoshoni Yoga Retreat in Rollinsville, Colorado, opening June 5, 2026. The show features works by globally recognized and emerging artists working within sacred traditions, including Tibetan painter Karma Phuntsok, who created two new paintings for the exhibition. The exhibition runs through September 6, 2026, and is juried by artist Faith Stone and art historian Sarah Magnatta.
This exhibition matters because it provides a rare platform for artists working in Buddhist and Hindu artistic traditions that are often underrepresented in mainstream galleries. By highlighting endangered practices and inviting contemplation of universal themes like compassion and wisdom, Lotus and Lion bridges sacred iconography with contemporary art, offering audiences a unique opportunity for reflection and cultural engagement.
