ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By
Gregory & Ernest Disney-Britton
Yesterday, we gathered with family in Cleveland for the funeral of our
Aunt Carlene Britton (1945-2018). It’s been that kind of fall. So, it’s fitting that today’s art of the week is a visual poem for the dead. This week, we also announced that
Alpha Omega Arts followers selected printmaker
John Gutoskey as recipient of the
Alpha Omega Prize for promoting religious dialogue. His
monoprint honors the 49 souls massacred in Orlando, Florida on June 12, 2016. That makes John Gutoskey’s “
Pulse Nightclub: 49 Elegies” our art of the week.
