Art Show & Lecture

Art Enriching Our Lives

Please join us on Sunday, May 21 at 6:30pm, for a special evening of art, art appreciation and spiritual insight. Two of our local artists, Gene Allen and David Sommers will share presentations, and we will have a time of fellowship and food as we view their art, and art shared by art class members. Works of the artists will be available for purchase. We will meet in the lower level of the CE Building.

Gene shares that he was trained and worked as an art teacher and that upon retirement, he has been focusing on his own art, and teaching seniors. Many Central members have enjoyed his classes. Nature is the emphasis of his painting. His focus is disappearing landscape, which has been disappearing too rapidly, causing drastic changes in the landscape he loves.

David states, “In Scripture, imagery and symbols are used to help us understand something beyond our grasp. Likewise, I will speak about how visual art can further our understanding of Scripture and deepen our grasp of God’s presence in our lives . In particular, I will share a few paintings that I have presented to Latin American Moravians at various conferences, and show how to explore a work of art with a series of probing questions, and thereby help us to participate in the particular Biblical story that the artwork represents.”

A donation ($10 suggested) will be collected at the door. To help us with planning, please contact Hank Naisby at [email protected] if you think you may attend.
