This Saturday the Rubin Museum of Art celebrated Losar, the Himalayan New Year, with a day of art, crafts, food, and music!
Visitors watched a master artist creates a sand mandala, contributed to a giant collaborative mandala, explored the museum through gallery tours, enjoyed traditional music performances, construct beautiful butter sculptures, and sip Himalayan butter tea.
A big thanks you to all of our volunteers and to everyone who posted photos of the event!
