Excitement Brews for the Stations of the Cross Exhibit

Artists have been dropping by all day to turn in their Stations of the Cross Exhibit artwork.

This show is a collaboration between the Art Colony and Spirit of the Wilderness Episcopal Church.

Hung at the Art Colony, 120 W. 3rd Ave. Grand Marais, MN, the Stations of the Cross Exhibit is open daily from 10 am-4 pm, March 21-April 4.

The exhibit explores biblical themes in contemporary art and is a representation of how our community expresses this in a local context.

Almost 30 artists, of a variety of spiritual backgrounds, have created original artwork for the show in mediums ranging from woodblock prints to watercolor, glass to textile, photography to wood, and clay to oil paints.

Don't miss the opening of this exhibit on Sunday, March 21st at the Grand Marais Art Colony. From 12:30 - 3 pm, local musician Nathan Baker will play his upright bass as the public walks the stations and reflects on the journey of both artist and Jesus. From 3 - 4 pm, Lisa Palchick will give a lecture on icons in art entitled, "Writing the Icon: A Journey into Another World." Light refreshments will accompany the Exhibit Opening.
