Mission Statement
The Mariandale Chapel Art Gallery is dedicated to promoting spiritual and artistic experiences in a sacred space. We recognize that art is the expression of not only the imagination but of the whole person; body and spirit, whether one is engaged in the process of creating or appreciating works of art. As such, the artistic experience can deepen one’s self knowledge, facilitate one’s spiritual and life journey, and lead to personal and societal transformation. The Chapel Art Gallery is committed to promoting and fostering the arts, and educating the public to the spiritual nature and importance of artistic endeavors and works.
The Gallery
Artists are invited to display their art work in various modalities, such as sculpture, painting, pottery, textiles, photography, and poetry. Each exhibit is advertised and begins with an opening reception. Artists may sell pieces during the exhibition.
