Recent Exhibitions
Hearing With Your Eyes! Visual Revelations of Parables, an exhibit by Atlanta artist Samuel O. Williams in Fall 2007

Blessed Feet, a juried exhibit in the Spring of 2006, featured visual arts based on two passages of scripture. Isaiah 52:7: “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.’” John 13 tells the story of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples during his last supper with them before his death. “Blessed Feet” entries were invited to make visible the meanings found in either, or both, of these passages.
For this exhibit, artists were invited to submit paintings, fabric arts, photography, sculpture and metal or wood works. We sought entries that have visual impact and were spiritually engaging.
