What's Up?Currently on our walls
Hope Art Sanctuary Exhibit: "Intercession : Şefaat" Sunday, September 11, debuted the new Sanctuary Gallery exhibit: “Intercession : Şefaat”. In a collaborative effort the Hope Chapel Arts Ministry has partnered with the recent Short-Term Turkey Mission Team to produce an exhibit aimed at drawing our congregational body together in unified and ongoing prayer for our Turkey Mission. The show will feature photography by Whitney Crowley, with a newly painted art wall by Micheal Wall. Our newly instated Gallery Manager, Courtney Daniel, has also brought her renowned art cards to the exhibit. Those cards will be found available around the foyer and sanctuary, and they make great prayer reminders and bookmarks. The Gallery Manager and Short Term Team would like to recognize the supportive labor of Ceci Proeger, our newly appointed Missions Director, in her enthusiasm for and assistance in hanging the show. Likewise, thanks go out to our Studio Manager, Tildon Humphries, who also has brought his labor and invaluable insights to the hanging efforts. Our featured photographer Whitney Crowley’s artist statement is found here. HOPE COFFEE SHOP GALLERY NOW OPEN Now you can support Hope Artists and purchase loved works in the coffeeshop area. All purchases and proceeds go directly to artists selling in the gallery. Look there for details. If you would like to contribute art to the coffeshop, contact Courtney Daniel.
