Rialto Arts
“where nature takes center stage”
 
 
Rialto Arts presents an inspiring and entertaining new season of concerts integrating environmental awareness and innovation with arts performances. In keeping with the image of the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Rialto aims to "bridge worlds " and bring awareness to our interconnectedness to one another and all of nature. For each audience member at a concert this season, a tree will be planted through American Forests. Last season, American Forests planted 1050 trees in for all those who came to Rialto Arts’ first two seasons of concerts. Receive our e-newsletter and concert reminders! Our Mission Our world is changing very quickly and in ways which require collaborative and imaginative cross-disciplinary thinking in order to effectively solve many of the problems our civilization faces over the next few decades. The arts provide a vital place for stimulating and unusual intersections with science and environmental research. Taken one step further, Rialto Arts offers a series of ongoing heart-expanding performances which bring the wonders of the natural world into play with human creativity through interdisciplinary musical performances. Inherent in this unique mixture is the belief that music is a healing language, and that it is through meeting the world as it is with open hearts and knowledge, that we can create harmony with one another and reconnect to the heart of the living planet. Once we have peace with the earth, we can have peace on the earth. Rialto Arts - A Link in the Chain By continuing to produce musical performances of a high quality which bring people together in several different venues, and through the integration of current environmental topics through nature-themed programming, Rialto Arts demonstrates the concept of “interbeing” and the heightened urgency of the need for new ways of thinking, acting and imagining. Well-known buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh describes the concept of “interbeing”. He says, “"If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. The cloud is essential for the paper to exist. If the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. So we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are.” Rialto Arts received non-profit status in August 2006. mailto:mirandaloud@yahoo.com?subject=please%20add%20me%20to%20the%20Rialto%20Arts%20mailing%20listshapeimage_1_link_0
