RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Disney-Britton

This is the final week of voting for A&O's 8th Religious Art of the Year, and if you are a subscriber you will receive your ballot today! It coincides with our viewing of the movie Steve Jobs and A&O's most popular post of the week on a virtual diorama to contemplate religious themes. In this world of Apple and realtime 3D, A&O explores why religious art still matters. We provide the best and worst of it, and we look for others doing the same. That's why the Kickstarter campaign for "Cathedral-in-the-Clouds" (above) by Auriea Harvey & Michaël Samyn is our NEWS OF WEEK.
