ECVA : Visual Art at Convention

Every day of convention, ECVA will issue a press release about the theme and artists for each day's visual prelude to worship.

Those who are attending convention may look for The Rev. Gurdon Brewster, Chair of ECVA, at booth #211.

Stop by the chapel to see the sculptures of The Rev. Thomas Faulkner and look for artist Krystyna Sanderson, who will be signing copies of her book of photographs.

We will post any news items we receive during the time of convention.
