黑料不打烊

Beyond Aesthetics showcases the world`s three major monotheistic religions, Judsism, Christianity, and Islam, as interpreted by three artists who approach their work with a spirituality that is at one with their theology. Dr. Halide Salam, Professor of Art at Radford University, begins with her Islamic background and faith to produce large scale paintings that eventually arrive at a plane of personal spirituality. Mary Jane Miller, an Abingdon native now working in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, revives the Christian icon as an important connection between human devotion and the devine. Arnold Schwarzbart, residing in Knoxville, TN, has designed both ceremonial and decorative pieces adhering to the traditions of Judaica. Beyond Aesthetics is funded by Johnston Memorial Hospital, the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and The Mary D.B.T. Semans Foundation. The exhibitions program is supported by The United Company and Marcia and Marvin Gilliam.
