Third’s gallery is a rotating showcase of work created by artists in our church and community.
The artwork in Third’s gallery changes with the liturgical seasons, offering artists’ perspectives on the themes of the season, our communal life as a church, and their own personal stories. We believe that creativity and craftsmanship are gifts from God, the original and ultimate Creator.
Our vision is to offer a venue for artists to share those gifts with the wider community, and our mission is to display and celebrate beauty, inspire curiosity, disrupt apathy, challenge assumptions, delight the senses and prompt worship.
Viewing art and engaging thoughtfully with it can be a spiritual formation practice: God can disciple us by the art to understand and appreciate his world and ourselves in it. We hope that viewers will not only enjoy the gallery, but be moved or changed by it in some way.
Next Installation: “Remember”
This next installation will remain up until Thanksgiving. Submissions my be new or old creations! Submissions due by Monday, August 24.
This fall, we’ll be studying the book of Judges and the stories of how God’s people repeatedly abandoned their covenant designation as a distinctive community among the nations. We’ll see over and over again how God lovingly and faithfully remembers and delivers a faithless and forgetful people.
Consider the importance of habitual remembrance as a path to repentance, grace, and spiritual formation:
What beautiful things remind you of God’s faithfulness and presence? How do they ground your mind and heart in chaos?
What habitual practices of remembrance bring you back to the good promises of God and the distinctive model of Jesus in a chaotic world?
Have there been periods of time where you felt forgotten by God? Have you experienced times of lament and repentance?
“Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.” – Psalms 145:13
