RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS NEWS
By TAHLIB

I knew long before founding the Alpha & Omega Project for Contemporary Arts, that many amazing artists were already making major progress inspiring a religious art renewal. I believe that we've joined an extraordinary movement of artists and collectors with a heartfelt commitment to transforming American culture, making inclusiveness core to the way American's practice religious diversity. Dustin Yellin is one of those amazing artists, and that's why his "The Triptych" (above), on display in Savannah, Georgia is my NEWS OF WEEK.

We are all members, united in the search for human meaning through art from the religious imagination. For us, it's more than Art. It's Religion. We follow artists who explore religious ideas with their creativity. When you follow religious artists, you join others who do the same. Some of us join as "Collectors" and make board decisions; others join as "Meeters" who gather for the dialogues; and most of us join as "Subscribers" to this "free" weekly newsletter; (or follow on: Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, or Soundcloud). All vote for the A&O Prize.
