The Arts and Community Building is based on Jenina Lepard’s book, The Fashioner: Reflections on the Role of Music and the Arts in Building a Global Community. We will take a theoretical look at the role of the arts in society and in the Bahá’í Faith specifically as well as a practical look at how we can utilize various arts in core activities, feasts and holy days, and other aspects of Bahá’í life. During the final two weeks of the course, participants will complete a project based on their own ideas for incorporating the arts in at least one Bahá’í core activity.
