INDIANA---Alpha & Omega Project for Contemporary Religious Arts is pleased to announce the 2013 winner of the A&O Prize for High School Student Art, eleventh grade student
Bailee Brantley of Indianapolis. "We seek to inspire youth to engage with the realities of religious diversity," said Gregory Disney-Britton, chair of Alpha Omega Arts. "This painting of the risk gay couples take when seeking religious connections is a particularly relevant message for today." Past winners of the A&O Prize for High School Student Art are:
Samreen Uzzama (2012); and
Rachael Walker (2011). All student participants must be residents of Indianapolis (grades 9-12). Bailee's prize also includes professional framing of her painting
"Risk" (below) by AVFraming of Indianapolis, and will be presenting during tomorrow's Spirit & Place Festival program, "
Art+Faith+Risk."
Since 2008, Alpha Omega Arts has been surveying members about the impact of Religious Art experiences in the United States, and awarding the ALPHA OMEGA PRIZE.
