“To Send a Prayer: a Collaborative Journal Project”
at The Stirring Art Gallery
at The Stirring Art Gallery
Exhibit description:
Last year, Richard Fudge was planning “To Send a Prayer,” an exhibit that explored the visual metaphor of a prayer being akin to a letter. During the planning, Fudge shared the concept and some of his sketches with a fellow artist in Texas. Inspired by the concept of mailing letters to heaven, Fudge began a collaborative journal project. Artists across the country were invited to participate by signing up to receive a journal and add their own visual expressions of prayer through painting, drawing, and photography. The journals began traveling across the country with artists participating from coast to coast.
Over the past year, the four journals have traveled over 25,000 miles, visited 23 cities and over 40 artists have contributed to the project. For the exhibit, 20 selected pages were enlarged and printed for display.

What a phenominal idea! I love it! Wish I could have seen it! I really enjoyed reading your blog. It has everything God has placed in my heart to do (create a networking place for Christian Artists with info, insights, and resources). It was really inspiring to see. Best of all, it is amazing to see how God has planted a seed in His artists and how each sprouts up for His glory in unique and diverse ways. Great work and wonderful ministry! God bless you! I look forward to checking in on this blog and current happenings. Be well!
