ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Gregory & Ernest Disney-Britton

Detail: David LaChapelle's "Nativity" (2012) Templon

The wait is over. Olivia was born on Tuesday (Dec. 18, 2018). She is our grand-niece, and we want to be her favorite uncles. Teddy bear time? At work, after 3-years of preparation, we launched IndyArtsEducation.org. Moreover, in NYC, photographer, David LaChapelle is ending a commercial phase of his career and beginning anew with his religious works such as "Nativity." Advent is about waiting for a brand new beginning, and honoring that wait is essential for Christians. That's why David LaChapelle's "Nativity" is this week's art of the week.
