This July Brigid’s Place welcomes artists from around the world to Re-IMAGE Mary Magdalene and create original works of art that portray the woman who was a beloved friend to Jesus, and a woman capable of turning “hearts toward the good.” For too many centuries the story of Mary Magdalene has been incorrectly told, painting her as a penitent sinner. The landmark show is part of Brigid’s Place’s month-long The Many Faces of Mary Magdalene Festival dedicated to reshaping the Magdalene’s legacy. Mary Magdalene was a woman like so many women today. She was a woman of devotion, love, bravery, wisdom, and power. Re-IMAGE-ing Mary Magdalene is a remarkable opportunity to experience through art that in Mary Magdalene’s story, we can also find our own story.

Join Brigid’s Place for a profoundly moving showcase of twenty-four varied artists working in different mediums this July. The opening reception will be held at the Cloister Gallery on Friday Evening July 10, 2015 from 6-8pm. There will be brief remarks from participating artists, information about the life of Mary Magdalene, the festival, and refreshments for guests.
