Arts Theology

Arts Theology is made up of All Saints’ parishioners who are interested in, simply, theology as it relates to the arts. The Arts Theology crew is responsible for bringing “art” in its many and varied forms in front of All Saints’ parishioners to inspire thoughtfulness, creativity, discussion joy. If you are thinking that “arts” in this case only means paintings and sculpture and photography you are missing half the fun!

Our theatre programs are big hits, offering a wonderful way to experience performance art, followed by an opportunity to discuss meanings with fellow parishioners and esteemed speakers. Most recently, participants attended a performance of Doubt, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play which won four Tony awards including “Best Play” and took part in a “talk-back” in Ellis Hall with the Rev. Harry Pritchett, rector emeritus of All Saints’.

Arts Theology brings the visual arts to All Saints’ as well. Our fine arts show and sale has featured well over 30 All Saints’ artists and works ranging from bronze sculpture to watercolors and woodwork. Part of the sale proceeds went to the J2A (Journey to Adulthood) program thus providing a venue for our artists, as well as benefits to our youth ministry.

Since the 2006 show, we have created The Gallery Wall in Ellis Hall (pictured right), where you will find artists’ work exhibited year round! We rotate artists every two months, and purchases can be made emailing Lauri Begley, director of parish life.

During the Lenten season, look around the church for the Stations of the Cross pieces by All Saints’ parishioners. One of the stations exhibited in 2008 was the work of one of our youth, Sara Claire Chambless. The Arts Theology committee is open to all age groups, representative of the artists we feature!

At Christmas, you’ll see us selling Christmas cards with the pictures of the stained glass windows on the front. In fact, we hope you will see the arts at All Saints’ all year round.

Interested in Arts Theology? Join us on one of our outings to private homes for art tours, or to a local museum for a lecture or join us as a committee member! We are open to anyone with a love of the arts, and with ideas on how to bring “the arts” to All Saints’.
