Visual Arts and Faith
The Liturgical Arts Guild is comprised of a group of Central artists who provide artwork for our worship spaces. Our artists have created Lenten fabric balcony drapes, paper lace-cut banners for specific services and celebrations (Advent, Christmas, Easter, weddings and holy

unions, Presbyterian Seal, baptism, and the church's 150th anniversary celebration, to name a few).  The guild also sponsors congregation-wide art projects such as the Wing and a Prayer Project.

Read about this project:  A Wing and a Prayer, origami cranes

Tull Hall Exhibits

In addition, Central frequently hosts special exhibits in the art gallery in Tull Fellowship Hall.

CURRENT EXHIBIT

Windsongs – Calligraphy of Timothy Botts

On display in Tull Fellowship Hall are twenty framed prints from the book Windsongs.  The subjects of these prints are texts from twenty great hymns. 

An artist has succeeded if the subject of his painting appears to come alive....Painted fruit should look delicious enough to be eaten. And Tim Botts has succeeded in painting the lyrics of great hymns - so that you want to burst into song!
- Joni Eareckson Tada

For more information on the artist, visit his website.
