Winter and Spring Schedule

Names of God: Transformative Power of Celtic-Inspired Art, February 17 - April 18

            “Names of God: Transformative Power of Celtic-Inspired Art” is the title of a solo exhibition of oil paintings from internationally known visionary artist Cynthia Matyi. The show will include approximately 50-60 oil paintings. Many of these are large, colorful, intricate creations which draw from the ancient tradition of Celtic illuminations. The artist uses these complex compositions in a way that reflects the questions, concerns and crises of contemporary life. Symbolism and repetition of symbolic shapes form a vocabulary which is essential to this Celtic style. With Cynthia Matyi’s work, ancient motifs, and many newly created ones, take on special relevance for us today. This exhibit opens Friday February 17 in conjunction with Gallery Hop. A portion of the exhibit will be across the street at First Presbyterian Church. She will be speaking at both locations. See the website art tab for specific dates and times. Program associated with gallery hop include music by   the Mize family and dance by McTaggert Irish dance group.
