ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By
Gregory & Ernest Disney-Britton
Of our best museum visits this past year, the
National Museum of African American History & Culture inspired happiness; the
Metropolitan Museum of Art renewed our creative passion, and a visit to Kentucky’s
ArkEncounter satisfied a curiosity. As we look ahead into 2018, we’ve marked our calendars to see
Makoto Fujimura’s "Charis-Kairos (The Tears of Christ)" at the Museum of the Bible, in Washington, DC; and
Norman Rockwell’s “Four Freedoms” at the New-York Historical Society. However, our biggest wish for 2018 is to be inspired by more artists with religious imaginations, like new favorites of 2017 -
Jeremie Riggleman,
Renee Cox, and 2017 Alpha Omega Prize awardee
Kelvin Burzon. Have an inspired New Year!
