Sarah Haig, MFA student at MCAD, shares her installation
words unspoken: breaking the cycle
Survivors of abuse are silenced every day.... This exhibit is an attempt to raise awareness, recognize the long-lasting effects, and help survivors realize they are not alone as they move through the stories of abuse. Collected anonymously, stories shared within the piece reflect intensely personal stories, and provide space for the grace of healing.
Sarah will share her experience of this project Sunday, December 14, at 9 A.M. All are welcome. |

ArtSpace grew from a dream to share creativity as a spiritual experience. As a community of faith in this place, we have an opportunity to share glimpses of the Creator with one another and the larger community; an opportunity to be involved in creating and experiencing the Spirit’s movement through image and form; an opportunity to be a welcoming space.
We will use the language of visual arts to meet, enrich, and find common interests with one another and with our neighbors.
Through ArtSpace, we hope to:
- Lift up the Creative in various art media by providing exhibit space, especially as we encourage emerging artists.
- Invite the participation of the neighborhood, that they know LNPC to a place of welcome, nurture and celebration.
- Honor God by promoting peace, justice, and wholeness.
The vision statement for ArtSpace, including oversight and processes, is available here. |
