Reception for “The Narrative of Life: A Response” Exhibit in the DAHL Lobby

Library News

In November of this year, The Brehm Center hosted a series of lectures given by Vanderbilt University’s Dr. Robin Jensen and artist John August Swanson. Students and alumni that attended were invited to create artwork in dialogue with the theme of the lectures: the intersection of faith and visual art and the important role that story plays at this convergence.

“Narrative of Life: A Response to the Brehm Lecture Series,” features works from seven artists who participated in this unique opportunity:

Christopher Min
John Lui
Joy Justus
Lin Preiss
Michelle McCreary
Olga Lah
Sarah Amanda Jones

Worth noting is that each of the participating artists chose a different visual medium or style as a means to respond to the Brehm Lectures.

On behalf of the featured artists, the Brehm Center, and Fuller Theological Seminary, we encourage you to engage with the art and the stories behind them. You are invited to a reception to view the works by these student and alumnae artists on Thursday, January 6 from 6:30-7:30pm in the David Allan Hubbard Library on Fuller’s campus.
