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.

A visit to the art gallery draws out our personal stories, as we experience the art in our own ways. While many GTU member schools display artwork, changing exhibitions can be found at CARe’s Doug Adams Gallery, at the GTU Flora Lamson Hewlett Library, and at the Blackfriars Gallery at...
