 talk about the role of religion in art. Now the Museum is flipping the 
 tables to hear from religious leaders.\n\nThis discussion is held in 
 conjunction with the exhibition Visions of Paradise: Art and the Power of 
 Faith.  The works in Visions of Paradise include historical folk pieces and 
 ritual objects from around the world together with contemporary works by 
 prominent Bay Area artists. These disparate objects range in style from 
 folk to classical to contemporary. As a collective exhibition, the works 
 illustrate the profound power of faith and the complex role of art in 
 religious practice.\nThe Sonoma Valley Museum of Art organized the second 
 Panel with the religious leaders reflecting on the role of art in religious 
 practice and on their respective spiritual communities’ cultural 
 lives.\n\nSpeakers included Reverend Nancy Taylor, First Congregational 
 Church of Sonoma; Joanne Martin Braun, Regional Director, Northern 
 California Shambhala, San Francisco; and Imam Ali Siddiqui, President, 
 California Muslim Institute & Center for Interfaith Studies, Santa Rosa, 
 and Co-Coordinator of the North Bay Jewish Muslim Dialogue. The central 
 hall was crowded with the guests and lively and educational discussion 
 filled the museum with great interest. Speakers responded to the question 
 posed by the moderator as well as the audience. The Panel discussion lasted 
 way beyond its scheduled time.\n\n\n
