Calling all Fabric/Textile Artists
National
Exhibition at Mennonite Church Canada Assembly in Calgary
Current Exhibit
In the Spirit of Humanity
STUDENT EXHIBITION
Opening: Friday, March 12, 7:30PM continues to April 24
In the Spirit of Humanity celebrates and reflects the increasingly multicultural
face of Canada, of our city, Winnipeg. Manju Lodha, Isam Aboud and Ray
Dirks have spent the past several months traveling from school to school,
offering multimedia presentations and art workshops to students from
grades one to 12 and to newcomers in adult English as an Additional Language
programs, from the inner city to the suburbs. There have been smiles,
laughs and tears. There has been spontaneous singing and dancing.
This exhibition is the result. Come, get to know the participating students,
get to know our city.

MHC Gallery Vision
The Mennonite Heritage Centre Gallery works side by side with the Mennonite
Heritage Centre Archives to link history with the present and future.
We wish to link the ethnic past to the multiethnic now and tomorrow through
shared faith and ideals. The MHC Gallery joins Mennonite History with
art in order to stimulate and keep alive Anabaptist/Mennonite distinctives
built on faith, perseverance and obedience.
We share our world, country and community with people from myriad cultures.
Just as the church is diverse, so too Christian artists reflect that diversity.
Just as Mennonite artists within the church have often not found a relevant
place, neither have Christian artists from immigrant or refugee communities
or those from the developing world. The MHC Gallery offers all these artists
a place to exhibit their creativity.
This mix of art, artists and cultures points to a foundation of Mennonite
history and faith flowing into a cornucopia of varied expression nurtured
from and heralding the same source, God.

Dirks, curator of the MHC Gallery.
