The Episcopal Church & Visual Arts Board of Directors invited Kathy Thaden to create and curate the Fall 2018 ECVA exhibition. Thaden chose the theme "This Fragile Earth," inspired by her mosaic of the same name.
Dan Rather wrote, "We have seen the power of artists in the past to channel societal currents into meaningful statements and expressions - ones that change hearts, minds, and history."
By imagination and inspiration through visual art, film or music we as artists can be truth-tellers. How do we discuss the impact of environmental issues -- on our natural surroundings and the rest of humanity as well? As artists, how do we participate in the conversation? What can we contribute to the narrative of healing and restoration?
The online exhibit may be viewed here.
