Opening Reception: Visualizing Change, Inspiring Action!

Reception: Thursday, May 16, 5 - 8 pm
in The Gallery at Convergence

Open Mic to follow: 8 -10 pm

Exhibit Dates: May 13 - July 4, 2013

We contend that art is active and possesses a power to set the mind and soul in motion. Art has the ability to provoke viewers to question themselves, their environment, and their purpose. Art motivates internal change, stirs up emotion and sneaks into your dreams and imagination. At it’s best, art inspires action outside the gallery walls, moving into the community and challenging the world.
Imagine, and dare to inspire action outside the gallery walls!

What do you see? What moves you? What challenges your assumptions? Ask yourself, What potential does my art have to move people?”

Even without happy endings, there is hope.

Have you ever wondered "Why does God seem farthest precisely when my Pain and Grief is at it's deepest?" Join our conversation with Mike Stavlund as he discusses his wrestling with God in the midst of personal tragedy of losing an infant son as described in his book , A Force of Will: The Reshaping of Faith in a Year of Grief.

Thank you to the City of Alexandria and the Alexandria Commission for the Arts for their generous support!
