Art exhibit official opening and reception

The special exhibit of the show "Epiphanies of Beauty," featuring objects from the art collection of David Partington, will be celebrated tonight at a special viewing and reception, 6:30-8:30 pm. David and Sarah Partington will be present at the reception. Paintings and prints will be hanging in the Atrium and downstairs below the Atrium. One painting and a selection of books & journals containing information about the featured artists will be seen in the glass display cases near the Library's main entrance.

This unique exhibit includes He Qi’s “Supper at Emmaus,” Edward Knippers’ “Baptism of Christ” and Makoto Fujimura’s “Shalom.” David Partington earned a Master of Divinity degree from Union Seminary in 1978. He and his wife are generously sharing this impressive collection for the art exhibit, funded with the support of The Carl Howie Center for Science, Art and Theology.

The display will be open to the public on Mondays-Saturdays, 1-4 pm, until May 7 (closed April 2-3).
