Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.
-John 14:27

Our fast-paced cultural moment seems to demand our immediate response to each and every situation. The pressures of modern life can fill us with anxiety: social change, political tensions, the pervasive noise of technology and social media, and the rise of a dopamine-addicted culture of distraction. In this juried group exhibit, artists prompt viewers to consider what it means to have a non-anxious, Spirit-filled presence in an increasingly anxious and distracted world.

Our August First Friday reception will also feature a Q&A with several of the visual artists featured in the show, beginning at 6:30pm in the gallery.
