Welcome to Galma Lisho Art School Foundation |
Tibet has a rich cultural heritage of traditional fine arts and
music. Unfortunately, the effects of modernization and economic
globalization are threatening Tibet’s traditional arts and culture
with extinction.
The GLAS Foundation has been established to preserve and
promote this cultural heritage. Our generous sponsors enable
impoverished Tibetans the opportunity to become students, live in
dormitories and to receive top quality training for three years.
GLAS is working to become self-sustaining by marketing their crafts
locally and abroad. Graduates will be ready to work independently,
ensuring a better future for themselves, their families and
communities.
The revenue from these handicrafts enhances the local economy
and the school's mission of increasing the viability of the Tibetan
culture.
Each of the
three unique courses of study are structured on a 3-year
curriculum. The students will gradually gain the skills to produce
salable art and handicrafts under the close supervision of their
instructors. Students will be accomplished apprentice craftsmen at
the completion of the program, or they will be fully ready to work
on their own in the craft. Students will study in one of the
following classes: more>>
