The NEW Center for the Arts & Religion at the GTU

From the Fall 2016 issue of Currents, view PDF By Elizabeth S. Peña Picturing things, taking a view, is what makes us human; art is making sense and giving shape to that sense.

Art @ the GTU

From Skylight Magazine, Fall 2017 Art galleries on the GTU campus give students, faculty, staff, and guests the chance for a contemplative experience among the press of academia. Art can be both relaxing and stimulating. It offers the opportunity for both private meditation and for connection with community.
