Christ Church exhibitions are intended to enrich the community, and to provoke dialogue about the function of art in cultural, religious and daily life. Displays throughout the year range from the work of professional artists to shared items brought in by church members. 

 

The Undercroft Gallery is below the main church in the Augustine Fellowship Center. You can visit after the 8 or 10:30 a.m. service or during the noon lunch on Thursdays. Use the 9th Street entrance and take the stairs or elevator down to the Undercroft. 

​

Exhibitions are planned and installed by a committee of parish volunteers. We’d love to hear your suggestions for shows. Artists from the parish and the region are welcome to submit work for consideration. To see our guidelines, click on this document:

We welcome artist Elayne Stevens, whose exhibition “Fragments Becoming” is now on view in the Undercroft Gallery. Please mark your calendars for a reception celebrating Elayne’s creative work on Sunday, April 27 from 11:30-1pm. Read more in the artist’s own words:

“My current work came from peeling back all the extra layers and returning to what I truly enjoy, which is play, and that’s through color and movement. Instead of trying to make something others would love, I focused on what felt good to create. That shift brought me back to why I started making art in the first place: for the pure joy and healing it brings.

 

My work reflects self-discovery, confusion, and exhaustion, the process of building myself up and trying to create structure within my own experience. That same feeling has carried over into my abstract work but with more love in every brush stroke. I want my paintings to feel like a place to rest while inviting curiosity, like solving a maze on the back of a cereal box. I take away from my work a sense of safety in discovery, and I hope others can find that in it too.”
