SUMMARY:Re-IMAGE-ING MARY MAGDALENE ART SHOW
DESCRIPTION: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. \nJoin 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. \n“Not Your Mama’s Pearls” \nArt Reception\nThe Cloister Gallery\, Christ Church Cathedral\nJuly 10\, 2015 6-8pm \n1117 Texas Ave. \nHouston\, TX 77002\nAttire: Vintage Accessories and Pearls\nFree Parking Available in San Jacinto St. Garage  \n
