RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK -- Collecting New Harmony Artists

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS

Show Us Your Walls
By Gregory & Ernest Disney-Britton

Gregory Disney-Britton holds a new Marsha Bailey's "The Temple" while standing in front of the Harmonist Labyrinth in New Harmony, Indiana.

Simple pleasures are the utopian moments we have right now, but what about memorializing them with art? For Ernest's birthday, we headed to New Harmony, IN, an 800-person historic town with five art galleries, 12 works of public art, and 25 original buildings. Founded in 1814 by the religious group called Harmonists, the town designed to be a utopia. Yesterday, we purchased a watercolor by local artist Marsha Bailey that captures the iconic Harmonist Labyrinth for meditation. Memorializing simple pleasures makes New Harmony artists our tip of the week.
