The mission of Life Force Arts Foundation (LFA) is to present artistically excellent visual, literary, and performing art for creating spiritual awakening and transformation. We define spiritual art as art that flows from spiritual practice, art that strives to connect the audience with Spirit, and art that creates spiritual revival, healing, or evolution. LFA advances the field of spiritual art through events and publications that promote awareness of the art-spirituality connection. The arts are a common ground of human expression, where artists and audiences of diverse spiritual traditions can share their personal and collective experiences of the spiritual aspect of life. Life Force Arts Foundation operates Life Force Arts Center (LFAC), Chicago's spiritual art gallery and performance space, which presents visual art exhibits, dance, theater and music performances, author book signings and workshops with artists who are experts in spiritual artmaking.
Life Force Arts Foundation was founded in 1988 as a non-profit, tax exempt 501 (c) 3 organization to present the modern dance and performance work of Joan Forest Mage (www.joanforestmage.com). As Joan developed the deeper, spiritual aspects of her work as shamanic practice, the company grew to support the exploration of the art-spirituality connection. Life Force Arts Center opened in 2008.
