Not as the World Gives

Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit in an age of anxious outrage

Artists: Juried Exhibit

About the exhibit:

Our fast-paced cultural moment seems to demand our immediate response to each and every situation. The pressures of modern life can fill us with anxiety: social change, political tensions, the pervasive noise of technology and social media, and the rise of a dopamine-addicted culture of distraction. At Four Chapter Gallery, we are interested in seeing how artists think about the Fruits of the Spirit and the role that they have in Christian life and witness in such a challenging climate.

 

Art, by its very nature, requires attention, courage, and patience to produce. These works are no exception, and we invite you to lavish your time and patience on them, waiting to see what the Holy Spirit has to say to you through them. It is our hope that the collection of artworks assembled in this group exhibition will prompt you to reassess and reconsider what it means to have a non-anxious, Spirit-filled Christian witness in our current cultural moment.
