The Lutheran Church of the Resurrection presents:

Shine A Light
A collection of work by 14 local artists.

Leonard Coen in his 1992 song, 'Anthem', sings "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in”. Throughout history, the use of light and dark contrast has been used metaphorically in millions of ways. This exhibition displays work from local artists for whom light is used both as an artistic element, as well as visual metaphor. The Art and Exhibition committee sent these prompts:

Is light in your work an element that illuminates form, space, or reality? Is your art itself the light that draws you to it? Does lightness in your work reveal something else? Do you utilize value contrasts as a metaphor for something else? Does light hold an important place in your creative work and personal symbolism?

 "Shine A Light" will be on display at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection public spaces from Sunday May 10 through Sunday July 12, 2026. A special artist discussion and reception will be held on Sunday, June 7th from 10:30-11:30am and is open to the public.

Art Gallery at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection

We believe that art has the power to move us, inspire us, bridge gaps in understanding and spark imagination. To that end, we seek to welcome our neighbors to join us as we explore and experience art, support local artists, and reflect on our shared humanity.

Our gallery provides needed exhibition space for local artists, and a welcoming center for community engagement, education, and connection. Our goals are to:

●      Create a vibrant, inviting, safe, inclusive, and accessible exhibit space.

●      Offer a diverse selection of art manifesting a range of concepts, styles
and media created by a diverse group of artists.

●      Expand cultural horizons through visual arts exhibitions and outreach
that connects, strengthens and enriches our congregation and our community.

●      Engage our congregation in an ongoing dialogue with local artists about
ideas, issues, and causes that affect our community.

●      Further open our doors by inviting our neighbors to enter our space and
actively participate with us via artist talks, forums and exhibit receptions.
