What Are Chalk Mandalas?

Mandala, once translated, means circle. Today, mandalas are used as a way of focusing the mind, relaxation, for psychotherapy, and can even be found in adult coloring books.

Generally, there is one recognizable center point of the Mandala from which an assortment of designs, shapes, or forms will flow. Mandalas contain both geometric and organic shapes, but they can also be personalized with recognizable images.

So, circle around during ARToberfest at Hutchinson Center for the Arts relax and create your very own Chalk Mandala!
