This is a wonderful opportunity to view activist art in action! I’m looking forward to this! Thank you to New Branches and Lake Nokomis Lutheran for inviting the artist and creating a New Branches event!
I got a chance to see the art as it was being installed yesterday–very beautiful! Be sure to allow time to leisurely visit the narthex and enjoy.
Holly, I second that. Her artwork is beautiful!
