"Honored To Serve" Exhibit

This exhibit is a special one. It doesn’t feature the artistic abilities of creative people. However, it does feature the journey of those in our church family who have served, or who are currently serving, in the US military. As November 11th is Veteran's Day, we felt it is a very appropriate time to host this unique exhibit that runs Sunday, 11/8 to Sunday, 11/15 at The Gallery @ Common Grounds, Living Word Community Church.

Every person has a history - a story written with many chapters, each being core to our lives. You will see many personal items and memorabilia that share a brief portion of these soldiers’ stories and the hardships and struggles they endured. The purpose of this exhibit is to honor a specific chapter in the lives of those who sacrificed and gave of themselves in service to our county.

Over the two weeks of this special exhibit, “Honored to Serve,” we hope you visit the Gallery @ Common Grounds Coffee Bar and experience part of stories represented through uniforms, photographs, historical memorabilia, and personal items.

Be sure to pick up a copy of the gallery exhibit companion booklet, The Heart Behind the Art.

Grace & peace,

Give and Take" is an interactive, living exhibition in which a group of artists have created works dealing with ideas such as meeting the needs of others and having one's own needs met, ridding oneself of excess, and addressing problems communally and individually. Visitors will be asked to participate in the life of the project as well. "Give and Take" is about cooperation and reciprocity.

Art In Motion

I like to post local art events that happen in the York area. I just got a postcard from York Arts detailing the Arts In Motion event that's coming up the end of this month. It sounds pretty fun and interesting. Click the links to check it out.

It's aways great to support the local art scene. York is trying hard to have one! They just need people to show interest.
