Under the leadership of the Center’s Interim Director Sara Braaten and Exhibition Coordinator Sandee Shaffer Johnson, the planning group has worked to showcase and be inclusive of the rich variety of local visual artists and crafts people. “We wanted to bring the collective wisdom of the established artists together with the enthusiasm and energy of the emerging artist and the entrepreneurial spirit of local art businesses. Among the various work included in the show are the large colorful oil paintings of African women by Pat Dougherty based on the photographs of a friend and missionary priest. Other works include Christian icons in the Coptic tradition of Egypt, Ethiopia and Eritrea by Patrick Ellis, abstract mixed media assemblages and painted photographs by Sandee Johnson, and playful wire-art birds by Nancy Laurent Other local artists include Revelle Hamilton, Ryan Higginbotham, Joe Woodford, Dottie Stone, Pidge Morgan, and Christina Aviles.
