Art
St. Matthew's is blessed to have among its members a number of very talented and well-known artists who believe that art is a gift to be shared and an integral part of St. Matthew's ministries. The Undercroft Gallery is located in the first floor parish hall and the Art Ministry team organizes regular shows by artists in a variety of media.
You may view the art before and after Sunday services, and on Tuesday through Friday during office hours, 9:30am - 2:30pm. St. Matthew's artists also develop special pieces to enhance the worship of the church. For Lent 2007, twelve artists created the Stations of the Cross, now permanently installed in the worship space, and for Advent 2007, a group of St. Matthew's and Jewish artists shared multimedia illustrations of selected Psalms.
Book Arts featuring Regula Russelle and Bart Galle
April 15 - May 26, 2012
Regula Russelle teaches at Augsburg College and the MN Center for Book Arts and lives in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood. According to Regula: "Art making is cultural work and as such it has political and spiritual dimensions. The themes in my books and prints recur. They contain the
deep questions in my life. How do we shape a day, a week, our communal life, the way of the city? Who is my neighbor, who my kin? And what might we become?
Bart Galle has an art studio in the Dow Building, on University and Hampden. Bart is a pastel artist, book artist, and poet. Most of his pieces in this exhibit combine pastel painting with hand-set type.
