Children’s RE to Host May 2019 Art Wall Exhibit Reception on May 5, Noon, Forbes.

Children’s RE to Host this Month’s Art Wall Exhibit

SANTA MONICA - This Sunday’s Art Wall opening reception, Kathleen Hogue, Director of Religious Explorations, members and friends will gather at Forbes Hall after both services to celebrate yet another way for children to experience and learn from the community about the value of art, for one of Hogue’s final projects before her departure.

The collection reminds the viewer of the connections to one another, home on earth and what completes so-called life.

Teri Lucas, Assistant to DRE, said the kid’s work is one of the best in years since the art wall started featuring work by kids, “It’s not often our hard-working art director takes breaks from her rigorous curation all year-round.”

The art pieces are one of a kind, generational contribution to the church and represent the devotion to kids in a knit-tight community, and proceeds will benefit the RE Assistant fund to support the program that at the moment is lacking funds.

The art wall will feature collaborations and sculptures by the young artist throughout the program, decorating the hall of pleasant spring tones, as a little reminder of the fragile environment they will inherit.

The art wall for the month of May features works created individually and collaboratively by UU Santa Monica children, youth, teachers, parents, and staff that will begin promptly at noon, after Reverend Greg Ward’s “Enthousiasmos” sermon, Sunday, May 5.

Reverend Greg Ward at UU Santa Monica said there are a lot of exciting new things happening to the church, as and thanked the Kathleen, Teri Lucas, and the kids for their contribution to the art wall this month.
