Art Talk with HCC – Early Hindu and Buddhist Art

How do artists represent the unseen, the infinite, and the sacred? Join Art History students from Hutchinson Community college for conversation that explores the rich connections between early Hinduism and Buddhism. This art talk examines how ancient artisans sculpted ancient stone, carved rock-hewn sanctuaries, and established enduring symbolic languages. Uncover the stories behind these ancient masterpieces.
After the presentation, stick around for a fun, hands-on art activity inspired by South and Southeast Asian art! No experience is needed, just bring your curiosity and a willingness to play. Creative expression is more than a pastime; it connects us in ways beyond words. Let’s make art accessible, fun, and restorative together.
Free and open to all. Materials provided.
