Art Show and Artist in Residence Kick Off

Reply

First Covenant Church has been worshipping and providing care around Capitol Hill for over 125 years! This art exhibit celebrates art created and used in First Covenant Church’s liturgy and ritual by local artist and First Covenant Church member, Sandy Nelson. Sandy’s graphic designs have helped us to connect us spiritually as a worshipping community to both people and the divine. Sandy is also becoming our official artist in residence this year and this art reception is the kick off of her residency! We are excited to receive an artist in residence as a religious community. We believe art teaches us what life is like and shows us ways forward. Art is prophetic and a way to receive truth and grace. Please join us as we celebrate art of our past and look forward to the future!

Reception at the Summit (420 E Pike) from 6-9pm. Affordable parking in the garage attached.
