THE PARADOR PRESENTS ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM WITH DAVID GREY
SANTA FE, NM | May 21, 2019 The Parador Inn is proud to announce its first artist in residence, David Grey, international leader in contemplative design, from June 1-15, 2019. The program will include two free public teaching sessions, each focusing on a different aspect of Grey’s unique Artful Awareness practice.
This will be the first artist-in-residence session hosted by The Parador, a charming boutique hotel nestled in the midst of historic downtown Santa Fe. The event is planned in line with The Parador’s vision to become an artistic center for the town, where creative minds can come together and express their art and learn from another.
“We are incredibly proud to be welcoming David Grey as our first artist in residence at The Parador,” said Evan Geisler. “David has taught his practice of Artful Awareness around the world, from Kuwait to New Delhi to Sao Paolo, and we are delighted to have him do the same here in Santa Fe. There will be daily meditations, public teachings, and general good vibes.”
“To me, Santa Fe is the most creative, contemplative, and uplifted community in this entire country. I’m so excited to return for two weeks and spend time creating, meditating, and sharing.”
Members of the public are invited to attend two free public teaching sessions, hosted by David Grey at The Parador this June:
PUBLIC TEACHING 1 / WED JUN 5 / 6:30-8PM
