RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS NEWS
By TAHLIB
I love listening to Quincy Owens, and I loved his work long before we'd ever met when I stumbled upon his "Holy Land" (above) at an Indianapolis gallery in 2012. He's a full-time artist, and a Christian who just returned from a Hindu immersion in India, and is now preparing for another "mission through art" to Romania (with his wife and kids). "In our western culture we talk in terms of “either/or” in a way of separating and categorizing," he said about his work. "In eastern culture there is a seamless acceptance of 'both/and.'" His work is just that – "both/and," and that's why we're celebrating this Easter with a gift of support for his journey to Romania as our NEWS OF WEEK. You can support him too by sending a check to: Redeemer Presbyterian Church, 1505 N. Delaware Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202, ATTN: "Romania Mission."

As a Christian, this holyweek is the most special week of my year:
To follow my holyweek journey, I'm providing links for the years of Alpha Omega Arts: 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009. Whether Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jew or non-denominational, we are all members of a giant spiritual family, united in the search for human meaning through art. For us, it's more than Art. It's also Religion. Some of us join the journey as  "Collectors" and gather monthly; others join as "Friends" who support November's celebration; and most of us join as "Subscribers" to this "free" weekly newsletter; (or follow on: Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, or Soundcloud). All celebrate the religious imagination.
