All information -so far- about the Book on the arts

May 2013 update
The book was ready to be published by Kalimat Press in 2006 but due to unforeseen circumstances we could not continue. Now Sonja is going to pay for the publication costs of the book and Kalimat Press will publish and distribute the book.

However to realise this we need to cut the book down in size drastically. So the artists will be contacted in the list below to see if they are still happy about being in the book and if they agree a new edit of their material. No new material will be added, the new edit is a reduction.

See the list of who is in the book so far on this page.

Artists do not get a reduction nor a free copy for being in the book.
No artist is expected to buy the book either. However we might give a cheaper price for pre-orders from Kalimat, and a pre-order might be necessary in order to be sure of getting a copy of the book as we might only print to order. Details will be announced on this page.

We realise that many wonderful artists are not in the book and we suggest that you submit material (see: participate) so we know about you. This book is just a taste. It does not aim to be representative.

summary:

Insights into the works and ideas of over 200 artists, from architecture to dance, from the Cameroon to Brazil.

part of the introduction:

The Bahá’í Association for the Arts is, without doubt, a grass-roots initiative. Artists started it in 1986, and artists and art lovers have kept it going with subscriptions and donations. This book contains just a taste of some of the material we have published, along with some new articles. Many wonderful articles didn't make it into this book, and all articles here have been cut and squeezed. This book is also not definitive. You are welcome to submit material for book two. Also see our website for further information about all the artists in this book: www.bahai-library.com/bafa/book.htm

BAFA has never been exclusively for those who would call themselves Bahá’ís. Our focus is on promoting and giving the arts the valued status they have in the Bahá’í writings. ...
