ART AT THE CATHEDRAL
is proud to host:
Living Mandala
Several years ago, Art at the Cathedral hosted an icon exhibition under the leadership of Jesse Mark, the founder of Art at the Cathedral. Since then, the idea of a mandala and labyrinth themed exhibit has been percolating.
Co-curators Melissa C Bright & Nishaan Sandhu are proud to bring together a wide range of techniques and styles from a variety of artists that explore the mandala and labyrinth forms through a modern lens. This exhibit includes Celtic imagery, Pop Art styles, abstract interpretations, and natural fractals. Techniques range from collage, photography, acrylic, pen and ink, to weaving, appliqué, bronze with inlay, and pottery.
We also partnered with Harrison Elementary, which was recently recognized as an arts magnet Elementary School. Melissa Bright led a class on “Mindset and Meditation through Color” where they learned about mandalas and approaching a familiar craft, coloring, in a meditative way. The selected pieces by the 4th and 5th grade Art and Theatre students highlight their creative use of color. We invite you to explore these meditative arts and hope you will discover how you are part of this Living Mandala.

Art at the Cathedral
Art at the Cathedral (AATC) is a voluntary committee made up of art lovers within the church and community. Our goal is to provide ‘sacred space’ for artists who feel that visual art is one of their modes of spirituality. Artists of many different faiths participate in the exhibits.
For more information on AATC, LexArts HOP, purchasing art, or participating in a future exhibit, please contact Mike Slone at mike@sblex.com.
AATC Lighting Fund
Jesse Mark was the founder of Art at the Cathedral and its inspiration and primary supporter for over 10 years. It was always his goal to upgrade the lighting in our art gallery to enhance the art to a professional level. Jesse died October 16 and his family has requested that contributions be made in his name toward the fulfillment of that goal. If you would like to make a contribution in Jesse's name for the AATC Lighting Fund, you can donate toward his memorial online via PushPay or mail a check made payable to Christ Church Cathedral to Melissa Petrey, Director of Finance, 166 Market St., Lexington, KY 40507.
