Tacoma Art Museum

I just heard about an exhibit down at the Tacoma Art Museum: "Illuminating the Word: The Saint John's Bible".

I don't know if you have heard about this project, but it is the first handwritten and illuminated manuscript to be commissioned and completed in 500 years. An ecumenical and multi-faith panel of theologians were consulted as they interpreted Scripture through visual image.

In addition, there is Janet Cardiff's installation piece based on Thomas Tallis' motet, Spem in Alium. A great example of capaciousness in musical space!!

So, a two-for-one experience in theological art. How can you resist?

Both exhibits are there until Sept. 7, 2008.

Peace,
Chelle
