"Light"
November 20, 2022 - January 8, 2023
"Let there be light."
Dawn- the sun's promise of a new day.
This little light of mine...
Strings of streetlights, even stop lights...
Jesus is the light of the world.
Fireplace embers, a centerpiece of candlesticks, a campfire, the fire under a pot of simmering soup, the romance of candlelight. There is something about light that evokes comfort, warmth, and contentment. And light has special significance during the Advent season. The candles in the Advent wreath symbolize hope, love, joy, and peace.
The thought of light has a special resonance within each of us. How does light resonate with you? You are invited to convey through your art what "Light" means to you by submitting your work for the upcoming Advent exhibit in the Charis Gallery.
We look forward to seeing your interpretation of Light.
