A unique multi-disciplinary media art exhibition at the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown and Dunbar Village. Featuring a rare opportunity to see the works of Chinese master calligrapher Don Wong, along with Vancouver-based artists Bryan Mulvihill and Lam Wong.

Zen in Japanese, Chan in Chinese and Dhyani in Sanscrit, means meditation: sitting still body speech and mind. When the mind and body are still, focused on the present moment without ideas or thoughts then the clear nature of the awareness mind is revealed. With practice and concentration this clear mind can be captured in a work of art, on in a focused activity, martial art, a tea ceremony, arranging flowers, in ones daily life.

The summer exhibition showcases cultural Tea and Zen inspired art including Don's Chinese calligraphy, Bryan's (aka trolley bus) 'Calligraffiti' scroll paintings, the premiere of Lam's film Tea Zen, photography, painting, ceramic tea-ware, art installation, tea ceremonial gatherings, workshops and talks.
