Off the Wall Gala 2024
2024-10-26 18:00 - 21:00
FRANK’s signature fundraising event is well-known for its excitement, spectacular selection of art, and community roots. Join us at 6 pm on October 26 for our 14th Gala supporting FRANK Gallery’s mission to enrich our community through art.

Attend in-gallery or from home

The Gala will be held in the gallery as well as broadcast live via Zoom for attendees who want to enjoy art and a tasty cheese box in the comfort of their home. For guests attending in person, a full bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres and light snacks will be provided.

How does it work?

With the purchase of an Art Ticket, your name is entered into a pool with other art ticket holders. During the gala, the names of art ticket holders will be drawn at random (this is the fun part!) and read out loud by our emcee, local radio personality, Aaron Keck. Once called, you’ll have one minute to choose your favorite piece of art “off the wall” to take home. It gets exciting as you never know what piece will go next! This event will be hybrid, meaning we’ll offer a limited amount of in-person art and companion tickets, and some online virtual tickets! In-person guests will enjoy delicious food and an open bar. Online guests have the same chance to select art off the wall, but from the comfort of their home.

There will be plenty of donated art (from our generous artists!) all valued at more than the price of a ticket! We invite you to see all the artwork ahead time in two ways, in-gallery or online. Visit the gallery the week before the Gala to see all the donated art hanging. Also, preview the works here as they are donated.

Talk: Sacred Dimensions
2024-11-23 10:00 - 11:00
The Art of Divine Form & Resonance in Indian Spiritual Science

Join us in FRANK for a talk by guest speaker, owner of Muses Card Shop, Abhi Sivadas. This talk explores the profound spiritual science embedded in Indian art, sculpture, and architecture, where form, symbolism, and geometry converge as pathways to elevate our consciousness. In Indian tradition, art is a sacred practice��not only an aesthetic endeavor but a transformative one that bridges the earthly and the divine. Through carefully crafted proportions, intentional geometry, and cosmic resonance, ancient Indian art becomes a language of the Atman (inner self ).

In this presentation, we will uncover the wisdom passed down by the ancient sages, focusing on three core aspects foundational to Indian spiritual science in art and architecture:

1. The Grammar and Language of Divine FormsIndian sacred art and architecture are deeply symbolic, using intricate geometries and sacred symbols to convey spiritual meanings. Each curve, line, and form has purpose, designed to connect us to the cosmos and awaken our Atman, the inner Self. Through this lens, we’ll explore the language of divine forms and how their careful design shapes our interaction with the higher realms.

2. Understanding Proportions for Divine FormsAt the heart of divine Art , architecture and sculpture lies sacred mathematical precision. These proportions are more than visual guidelines; they are rooted in cosmic alignment, bringing the structures and forms into resonance with universal order. By following these proportions, ancient artisans created sculptures and temples that do not simply represent divinity but embody its vibration, inviting viewers to experience a harmony that uplifts the spirit.

3. Creating a Healing Space with Cosmic VibrationsBeyond their visual beauty, Indian temples and divine sculptures are built to emit healing vibrations. Crafted through intentional spatial arrangements and spiritual geometry, these spaces cultivate peace, balance, and inspiration. This segment will explore how spiritual architecture and sculpture are designed to resonate with transformative energies, elevating the viewer’s experience to one of profound peace and interconnectedness.

Abhi Sivadas is the owner of My Muses Card Shop in Carrboro, and a passionate creator of sanctuary spaces that resonate with divine harmony. Born into a family of temple builders in South India, Abhi has dedicated the past decade to studying with master builders and temple architects in India. His research focuses on ancient power centers and the effects of sacred architecture and alignment on our energy field and heart space.

Specializing in the Vedic building manuals of ancient India, Abhi uses this codified knowledge of frequency and resonance to design and align vibrant spaces, homes, and communities that promote well-being. Alongside his work in architecture, Abhi is an artist who shares his knowledge with other enthusiasts through workshops, seminars, and hands-on experimentation, inspiring others to explore the intersection of art, spirituality, and sacred design.
