Programs
Five living traditions taught by practicing artists and lineage holders, at venues across the Wasatch Front.
Calligraphy & Chinese Painting
Traditional ink painting and calligraphy on rice paper, taught by Cuizhen Yue Domke and Lin Yang. Weekly Saturday sessions cover brush technique, ink preparation, composition, and the four treasures of the study. All levels welcome.
Learn moreBaguazhang & Tai Chi
Internal martial arts with Lin Yang, a fifth-generation Yin Family Baguazhang lineage holder. Saturday Baguazhang workshops at the Visual Art Institute cover circle walking, palm changes, and internal energy work; Tai Chi draws on the same internal principles in a more flowing, accessible form.
