ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By

Ernest Disney-Britton
What a month this has been? National attention has been fixated on the public art known as Confederate monuments. During this week of
debate about
American history, iconoclasm, and censorship, the team at 20x200.com offered a set of limited edition prints of
Florine Stettheimer's The Cathedrals of Art from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. The symbolist painting is one in a series of four where the artist depicted the major “places of worship” in New York City: Broadway, Wall Street, Fifth Avenue, and the art world. At
Alpha Omega Arts, we celebrate artistic freedom, and
oppose censorship, even of the Confederate “places of worship.” We support plans for contextualizing our past and for building new “cathedrals” for our future.
