St. Mark Episcopal Church

St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Glen Ellyn hosts the work of local artists in our church sanctuary several times a year. We seek work that enhances and engages with our worship, since the main display area is in the church itself. The congregation and artist find themselves in a mutually giving and receiving relationship that acknowledges the presence of God in our lives and in our abilities of expression. Some work that has been shown directly falls into the genre of spiritual art; other pieces reference the spiritual in a celebration of nature and personal experiences. We usually select three artists for the year, based on work that is submitted digitally or by photograph by mid-January.
