The Artist's Place
The Artist's Place at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer serves as an arts ministry to the congregation and community by hosting art exhibits and art instruction. The arts, for both artist and viewer, are connected with spirituality and the religious in three ways. First, their power in expressing and creating meaning takes people out of the ordinary into sacred time and space where they can experience themselves and the world differently. Next, their power in evoking feeling and beauty opens a doorway into the joys and wonders created by God. Finally, creating and viewing art induces the same brain wave activity and body/mind changes as prayer and thus, can be a way of praying without words.
