Camphill Kimberton hosts art opening and community art day, featuring Zentangle

Camphill Village Kimberton Hills announces the Doodle Days Art Show, presented by Philadelphia Area Zentangle, whose works will be on display in the Camphill Café throughout September. All proceeds from art sales throughout the month are being donated by the artists to support Camphill Village Kimberton Hills’ arts activities. 

A gallery opening will be held Friday, September 6 from 2-7 p.m. in the Camphill Café.  Light dinner, beverages and desserts will be available for purchase and the artists will be present.  Live Native American flute music by Frank Henninger will be performed from 5-7 p.m.

There is also an interactive component to the show.  On Sunday, September 8 from noon- 4 p.m. in the Camphill Café, the community is invited to come and create Zentangle-inspired art and for a small donation, enjoy tables of activities for both children and adults. 

Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.  Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativity andprovides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal wellbeing. The Zentangle method is enjoyed all over the world across a wide range of skills, interests and ages.

"We tangle to reduce stress, form a bond with nature, enhance our consciousness, unblock negative energy, break bad habits, and share this creative healing art, worldwide,” says Karen Izzi, Ph.D. CZT, certified Zentangle teacher and organizer of the art show at Camphill Kimberton. “Each pattern allows us to unwind as an overall lightness enters the mind, relaxing the body at the same time. As a wellness practitioner, I share Zentangle with clients to help them enhance their own lives. With each stroke, anything is possible. We create art with Zentangle, but most of all, we breathe.”

Karen Izzi, PhD. CZT, is the author of a Zentangle journal called, One Tangle at a Time, A Daily Diary of Zentangle. Signed copies will be available at the opening reception and it is available on Amazon.com.
