Images of Light: Interfaith Icons for the 21st Century at the Interfaith Community Sanctuary
Icons are windows into heaven.
They are essentially communication devices.
This is a two-way communication.
Iconmaking is a construction project, like building a window, which takes place as much in the imaginal world as the material.
Keeping this space open & alive requires attention.
An icon is a hotline to the Beloved.
An icon is a mirror that is alive.
Exhibition: December 1--January 31
Reception & Artist Talk: Saturday January 11, 6:00pm
Workshop: “Making Images of Light" January 25th, 2014, 1 - 4pm, $25
Come learn about & practice the physical & spiritual mechanics of iconmaking.

Four Painters Fill BalMar For January Artwalk
Four artists will be showing their work at Balmar for the month of January.
Running the house music on Saturday, GYP CHI (aka Jittania Smith) is a DJ and producer from Seattle, WA. Long before she pursued DJing, Smith played percussion for Washington Middle School and Garfield High. In her spare time, Smith was influenced by many styles of music ranging from Moby and Thievery Corporation to Jimi Hendrix, The Orb, Bjork and RJD2. While pursuing a degree in Marine Biology at Brown University, Smith discovered her passion for electronic music production in an elective Computers & Music course. A year later, in 2012, Smith was given the opportunity to pursue her DJing skills internationally while traveling on a working visa in Australia. Upon her return to the states last fall, Smith made the switch from CDJs to Technic 1200s and Serato, and has been hooked ever since. Smith enjoys mixing a wide array of genres, ranging from 80's and 90's pop, disco and old school hip hop to modern reggaeton, electrohouse, trap, soul and glitch hop. She also loves any opportunities to collaborate with others, and is always looking for other musicians and artists to practice and perform with.

Annie's Art & Frame Presents Jerra Jenny for January Artwalk
Color is what catches the viewers’ attention. In the Dance Series, Jerra Jenny chose a name for each piece that captured the rhythm and flow of the colors.
From the bright, vibrant colors of Jota, to the deep, rich hues of The Charleston, the colors come together to form unique dances each framed in a complimenting tone. The artist chose to work with colors and patterns that reflect her emotions.
Sometimes bright and cheery, while other times mellow and muted, she believes we all have inner colors that are in conjunction with our thoughts and feelings. We all have our rhythm of colors, we all have our own dance.
