RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS 
By TAHLIB

For the third consecutive year, the Alpha & Omega Project for Contemporary Religious Arts will participate in November's annual Spirit & Place Festival in Indianapolis. The 2013 exhibition theme "First & Last: Religious Risks" will bring together youth and working artists, as well as poets in a powerful risk-taking arts experience. As believers and skeptics too, we measure risk through the lens of faith, creativity, and diversity. We approach risk along a continuum between crisis and opportunity, responding with rigidity or resilience, faith or skepticism. Join us this November for the A&O Prize exhibition; and also for the entire festival to see audacious art and thoughtful discussions that help make "RISK" (above) the A&O NEWS OF WEEK.
