This initiative facilitates and encourages artists and church communities to curate and exhibit works of art in places of worship.
Contact Paul Bayley (artinchurches@acetrust.org) on 07985 504572 if you are an artist or member of a church community wanting to explore the potential of the visual arts in dialogue with religion.
Past projects include the 2006 City of London Festival for which ACE curated three works by Yoko Ono at St Paul's Cathedral. Morning Beams (see banner image) is a dramatic installation using rope to create the illusion of beams of light from a natural light sources. The beams reach the floor where it shines onto River Bed, a 'river of life' made from pebbles. These works along with Wish Tree belong to a recent series of works created by Ono which use elements from the natural world to enable the viewer to interact with her artwork.
