Art: A Discussion, hosted by Genie Poretzky-lee, was a rich and lively event - a wonderful opportunity to meet with friends, share thoughts, knowledge and drink tea. Watch this space for our next gathering. 
​Catch up on the work of all the artists who have shared their work in the project space in our Archive.

​Over the past couple of years we have explored the work of many artists, with thanks to: Jo Milne, Davina Kirkpatrick, WhiteFeather Hunter, Rita Parniczky, Iris Garrelfs, Stacey Blythe, Rosalind Wilson, Daniel Davidsson, Carol Laidler, Carlos David, Andrew Spira, Yong, Min Cho, Moich Abrahams, Stephen Carter, Genie Portezky-Lee, Antoni Malinowski, Veronique Maria, Minami Kobayashi, Anna Walker, Rashid Maxwell, and Rosana Miracco. 
​The aim of The Blue Lotus Foundation is to support the new and the unusual. We are living through extraordinary times. Now, more than ever we need to nurture community, creative endeavours, and cultural events. We believe in the importance of the artist in shaping our awareness at a visionary as well as imaginative level, and in what it means to bring art and healing together in synthesis. As well as hosting exhibitions, we are also an open venue for small groups to meet and participate in film screenings, poetry readings and workshops. For the past ten years we have successfully held a variety of events presented by many wonderful artists. In addition we support authors to publish their first writings, such as Bika Reed, Aidan A. Dunn, Jay Ramsey, Genie Portezky-Lee and many more.

We sadly mourn the loss of Jay Ramsay who died after a long battle with cancer ​on 30th December 2018. 

"What else is there? The spiral climb
hearing your name called through the mist,
ever stretched towards your blue potential
true self's surrender, that is the only way home."
From Anamnesis, 2008.
