Lobby Art News – Sunday October 1st kicked off the return of lobby art at UCE!
You may have noticed these beautiful paintings in our UCE lobby. They are the work of Barbara Blades, Evanston artist. Barbara was introduced last Sunday and was available for questions and information in the lobby following both services.
The art gracing the lobby is part of our reinvigorated Lobby Art Initiative begun many years ago to highlight work of local artists and raise awareness of arts at UCE. Members of the committee are: Will VanDyke, Johna VanDyke, Eleanor Speiss Ferris, Ally Hunter, Gay Riseborough, and Andrea DeMers.
Funding for this program comes from the Rosemary Zwick Fund for the Arts, a UCE dedicated fund established in memory of our beloved Rosemary Zwick who made the UCE Chalice which we use each Sunday, the mural in Room 3 and the ceramic wall relief of the chalice as you enter the west/main entrance.
Art is an important component of our mission to “Nurture the Human Spirit for a World Made Whole” and is reflected in the UCE end statements written by the Board of Trustees.
