Artists to tell cityโs Christian history with works at gallery
More than a dozen local artists have created work inspired by stories of Christian leaders in Tucsonโs history.
Those pieces, along with at least 20 of Ted DeGraziaโs Father Eusebio Kino paintings, will be on display at the City Psalms Art Gallery opening Friday, April 1, at Moโs Gallery and Fine Framing, 3650 E. Fort Lowell Road.
โThe focus of the art gallery was to create expressions of prayer for Tucsonโs future inspired by Tucsonโs spiritual history,โ said Brian Goodall, the prayer domain director for 4Tucson.
City Psalms is a project of the Christian organization 4Tucson.
The artists took inspiration from the stories of Father Kino, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and Father Francisco Garcรฉs, to name a few.
Some of the artwork will appear in an upcoming film produced by 4Tucson.
The gallery open house on Friday will have refreshments, live music and time to chat with artists. It runs from 6 to 9 p.m., and the gallery will remain free and open to the public through May 7.
