RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By TAHLIB, Curator

"American Jesus: Hold Me, Carry Me Boldly" by David LaChapelle

There are only two more weeks of voting for the Alpha Omega Prize for Religious Art of the Year 2015. Subscribe to our newsletter today, and receive your final ballot next Sunday! A&O explores why religious art still matters today. We provide the religious context that art curators tend to avoid. A&O readers honor devotional work but also works that make irreligious statements. That's why "American Jesus: Hold Me, Carry Me Boldly" (above) by David LaChapelle is our NEWS OF WEEK.
