The Clark Center’s spring exhibition (Feb 4 – Apr 28)  Wrathful Deities and Compassionate Bodhisattvas: Aides of the Buddhist Faith will showcase the diverse forms of aid through exquisite Buddhist sculptures and a rare bronze votive plaque (kakebotoke), ranging in dates from the 12th to the 14th century.

Also featured are sophisticated Buddhist hanging scrolls dated from the same period, as well as intriguingly painted saints and deities created during the 17th to the 19th century.
