JACKSON, July 16-- The Union University Art Gallery is recognized in Christianity Today's July issue as one of the nation's top 22 campus-based Christian art galleries.
The Union gallery, which aims to demonstrate the limitless creative possibilities of Christian-based art, regularly exhibits the works of well-known Christian artists from across the nation. Past exhibitors include Loren Baker, a 1993 Award of Excellence recipient from Christians in the Visual Arts, and Michael Mallard, chair of Union's department of art and first place winner of the Billy Graham Center Museum's 1993 international competition.
"We were very pleased to learn of Union's recognition in Christianity Today," Mallard said. "We try to attract the best possible artists to exhibit in our gallery while supporting art that displays a Christian world view."
In addition to regularly-scheduled artists, the gallery recently co-promoted two exhibitions with Christians in the Visual Arts, a national organization that promotes art depicting Christian themes. The University also sponsors visiting artists to present lectures in conjunction with many exhibits.
The Christianity Today list seeks to acknowledge galleries housed on college campuses that have strong regional reputations for exhibiting works with scripturally-based themes.
