Open Door Gallery
"Behold, I have set before you an
open door." Rev. 3:8 |
|
|
"If I were called to define briefly the word 'art,' I should call it
reproduction of what the senses perceive as nature, seen through the
veil of the soul."
-Paul Cezanne |
Located in the Walnut Room, the Open Door Gallery was established in
2005 and takes its name from the welcoming tradition of
the United Methodist Church - Open hearts, Open minds, Open doors.
The purpose of the gallery is two-fold, both to enrich the United
Methodist Church of Whitefish Bay and the general community with
changing exhibits that give glory to God, and to encourage artists
by providing a space to display their work.
Contact Neil Bubke, Sandy Kochan or JoAnn Mortonson for more
information. |

St. John's Bible exhibit
on display
One of the three traveling exhibits of the St. John's
Bible Project is currently on exhibit in the Open Door Gallery.. The
St John's Bible is the first handwritten, illuminated Bible
commissioned by a Benedictine Abbey in over 500 years. This display
has traveled internationally, and the prints feature portions of the
handwritten calligraphy and the stunning artworks that were chosen
as illumination of the text. Smithsonian Magazine has called this
once in a millennium endeavor "One of the extraordinary undertakings
of our time". The display will be on view in the Open Door Gallery
located in the Walnut Room from April 3 to May 14, 2012. Hours for
the gallery are Monday -- Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. and Sunday
from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. For further information about the UMCWFB
