Stay the Same" and listen to the artist discuss his experiences that have created
this incredible body of work.
The Naropa University Galleries offer an experience of the arts in a contemplative
environment committed to the human experience of visual, perceptual and energetic
transmissions through art.

Deeply linked with Naropa University’s mission, the visual arts galleries nurture
and cultivate contemplative insight to reflect the interplay of discipline and delight.
We are home to five art galleries throughout the campuses that present contemporary
and traditional media by students and faculty, regional, national and international
artists. In addition, each spring and fall semester the Naropa University Galleries
feature artwork by graduating students from the Visual Arts and Transpersonal Art
Therapy programs.
