I curated an exhibition last year at the Vineyard Christian
Fellowship in San Francisco. The exhibition was titled, Modern
Expresions of Spirituality, and highlighted about fifty works of
paintings, photography, mixed media, and sculpture. The
exhibition was open to all artists in the United States, and works
from several states was accepted. This exhibition was part of a
conference titled, From Creature to Creator, and included
workshops, lecturers, performances, and the exhibition.
The previous year, I did a holiday exhibition titled, My Life As A
Child. This was an installation that focused on the personal
childhood memories of eight individuals from various ethnic
backgrounds. Also included in this exhibition were interactive
components, such as a working 1970s arcade game; a 1950s
livingroom where you could sit and listen to old radio shows and
eat popcorn; a table where you could sit and write about your own
childhood memories, etc.
Both of these exhibition were well received. The Vineyard
Christian Fellowship is an evangelical, somewhat
non-denominational church that often attracts (there are over
400 such churches in the U.S. alone) large congregations of
artsy-types.
Hope this is helpful. I would be most interested in hearing more
on this subject.
