In the Spirit Group Exhibits at Circular Congregational Church in Charleston, SC, During Piccolo Spoleto
How do we as artists bear witness to our world? How do we help others to see? This year's exhibit concept has a sense of urgency as we continue to witness major and minor political and cultural events, war and peace, scientific exploration and censorship, environmental changes, human successes and tragedies.
WITNESS: What Are We Doing In Our World? Is the theme of the 2004 Piccolo Spoleto Festival
"In the Spirit" art exhibit, held annually at Circular
Congregational Church in Charleston, SC. The exhibit runs from
May 28 through June 13, 2004.
The gallery showcase features fine art in a variety of mediums,
from sculpture to painting to photography. Participating artists
include: Leslee Ames, Robin Boston, Isabel Forbes, Peggy Howe,
Honor Marks, Gayle Newcomb, Lauren Petrovich, Ron Anton Rocz,
Missie Stevenson, Debra Stokes, Carolyn Ter Poorten and Chaz Walter.
The Circular Congregational Church was founded in 1681, when Charleston's earliest settlers began meeting to worship in the manner of the Reformed Faith. The "White Meeting House", as the church building was called, gave Meeting Street its name. WITNESS: What Are We Doing In Our Lives? takes place in Circular's historic fellowship hall, surrounded by one of Charleston's oldest cemeteries. Called one of Charleston's great new gallery spaces, the building's fourteen-foot high ceilings, large windows, and history as a sacred space make it a moving place to witness art.
