It is hard to contain our excitement for sharing this month's
INSPIRE ME! Artist of the Month,
William Fritsch and his "The Next Supper" drawing. There is something about his work that immediately takes Christians to our happy place. Part of the allure is being instantly struck by a sense of familiarity. Based on Leonardo da Vinci's famous mural, Fritsch recreated a supper for our world today. The individuals at the table are people from the artist's own faith community but are surrounded by portraits of world faith leaders and world languages on a "Welcome Board." Available as prints, William Fritsch's "
The Next Supper" is our art of the week.
