More Awesome Summer Stuff for Individuals and Families

Main Gallery
There is a new exhibit in the Main Gallery, this one by Sophie George from Wheaton College. Sophie's work has been influenced by the six months she spent in rural India last year, a place she experienced as one of "coinciding stimulation and paradox, a lush and vibrant landscape and environmental decay." Her work began with sketches and notes and photos and evolved into beautiful mixed media paintings and textile designs in which she explores coinciding forms, harmony and dissonance, flatness and depth, density and breathing space. This is one exhibit you don't want to miss.
Read more about Sophie.
Artists in Residence Gallery
Last chance to see Ashley Giampoli's photos from her travels to Africa, Antarctica and the Galapagos Islands. This exhibit comes down after services on the 19th, when the Artists in Residence Gallery will close for the summer during construction on Pilgrim Hall. Be sure to stop down there this week to see it!
