Circular Congregational Church in Charleston, SC, Presents In the Spirit 2005 Exhibit
Robin Boston
As life mixes soft joys with harsh sorrows and serves them up side by side, surely our greatest task is discerning the sacred in the midst of our day to day. What is the thin space between heaven and earth? Where do you find it? The artists of Circular Congregational Church explore that space in this compelling exhibit.
Heaven is Here, and Earth,
and the Space is Thin Between Them
is the theme of the 2005 Piccolo Spoleto Festival 'In the Spirit'
exhibit held annually at Circular Congregational Church in Charleston,
SC. 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, Bethaney Jaenicke, Frederick Jules, Ted Kusmider,
Honor Marks, Gayle Newcomb, Lauren Petrovich, Debra Stokes, Carolyn
Ter Poorten, Art Thomas, and Chaz Walter. The exhibit runs from
May 27 through June 12, 2005, as a part of the Piccolo Spoleto
Festival.
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. Heaven is Here, and Earth, and the Space is Thin Between Them 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 experience art.
