The Wisdom of Happiness: Boulder’s Buddhist Arts and Film Festival

On September 13, the Dairy Arts Center will host an extraordinary cultural gathering — the Buddhist Arts and Film Festival. With the inspiring theme “Wisdom of Happiness”, this event blends art, spirituality, and storytelling into a day of celebration and reflection.

A Day of Mindful Creativity

The festival promises a rich lineup of music, film screenings, spoken word, and mindfulness practices. Attendees will experience how Buddhist philosophy can be expressed through art — from meditative melodies and meaningful cinema to live performances that carry timeless messages of compassion and awareness.

This is not just an arts showcase; it’s a journey into how creativity and mindfulness meet. Whether you’re new to Buddhist practices or already familiar with meditation, the festival offers a welcoming environment to explore deeper states of happiness and connection.

The Power of Spoken Word and Music

Music and spoken word will take center stage, highlighting the universal language of sound and storytelling. Performers will use rhythm, poetry, and voice to explore the theme of happiness, bringing both joy and introspection. These artistic expressions are designed to move audiences beyond entertainment into a shared experience of peace and mindfulness.

A Community Gathering

Beyond the stage, the event serves as a gathering point for Boulder’s diverse community. The Dairy Arts Center — already a hub for culture and creativity — provides the perfect backdrop. Visitors will be able to connect, reflect, and celebrate together, reinforcing Boulder’s reputation as a city where art, mindfulness, and community thrive side by side.

Why Attend?

The Buddhist Arts and Film Festival is more than an event; it’s a chance to pause and recharge. In a world often filled with noise and distraction, “Wisdom of Happiness” reminds us to slow down, be present, and celebrate the joy of being alive. Expect to leave inspired, uplifted, and with a deeper appreciation for the role art plays in shaping mindful lives.
