Sacred Art Exhibition @ Boxheart Gallery, August 23, 2008

August 19 - September 13, 2008

The Sacred Art Exhibition

Public Reception: Saturday, August 23rd: 5 pm - 8 pm.Free and open to the public.

The art work exhibited in this year’s Sacred Art Exhibition celebrate the sacred process of creating art. They share the value that humanity has the power to choose sacred actions. Whether that action is the choice to create art that represents the depth of spirituality, or the choice to pay homage to the heroes and heroines of our past that led with sacred strength, or the choice to act through a collective good, “the choices we make everyday collect in pools and streams, just like water agreeing with gravity, to form our passage through life” (Randie Snow: Artist Statement). Through variations in textile, sculpture, drawing, painting, and assemblage, each artist successfully depicted the concept that “each act, each time we choose to lift a finger or not, choose left or right, flight or fight, each choice is sacred” (Ed King: Artist Statement).

Join us for the public reception of this year’s Sacred Art Exhibition: Saturday, August 23rd: 5 pm - 8 pm.

Hothouse is The Sprout Fund’s annual benefit and showcase event.

Support for the event has been strong every year; last year 37 financial sponsors, 4 media sponsors, 40 in-kind supporters, 36 food & drink sponsors, and 75 silent auction donors joined hundreds of friends of the organization to raise more than $100,000 for The Sprout Fund....
