Glognitz, Austria: "Art for Human Rights" (Photos)

September 01, 2006 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) From June 1 to the June 14, 2006, the International "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" Art Exhibition were held in the Eisinger Gallery and the Raiffeisen Bank in the town of Gloggnitz.

The gallery, which is also a bookstore, was a different kind of exhibition venue for us. Similarly, the bank offered new opportunities to reach people and let them hear about the true situation in China.

The opening speeches were given by the Bank's chairman, Komerzialrat (commercial council) Karl Kloucek and the town's cultural attache Franz Steiner, as well as Ms. Melanie Fleck, VP of the Arts and Cultural Society ARS CARA

At the private viewing that kicked off the exhibition, there was a sumptuous buffet, music, and music performances calling for human rights in China, as well as a discussion about the paintings by a Falun Gong practitioner.
