The
Episcopal Church & Visual Arts amplifies the
voice of the artist through
exhibition
opportunities, local
chapter
networks, a bi-monthly
eNewsletter, a
Registry of artists and
congregations working in visual arts and the church, and a
richly rewarding
website designed
for sharing, learning and growing.
Behold All Things New is the sixteenth
exhibition sponsored by the Episcopal Church and Visual Arts.
For this exhibition, the curator Rev. Gurdon Brewster was
most interested in how artists have been influenced by the
politics and social climate of contemporary life, the suffering
of our world and the judgment and hope of our faith.
As
you page through the images here, a rich tableau of life experience,
age and geography becomes quickly apparent. Consider this: each of the fifteen visual artists exhibiting in Behold
All Things New create with a distinctive voice.
Through their work we, the viewers, are offered an authentic
bridge to deeper communion with Christ.
