Journey exhibition & Art in Faith City Walk

‘Journey’ is a group show by commission4mission artists at All Hallows by the Tower (Byward Street, London EC3R 5BJ) from Tuesday 16 to Saturday 27 October 2018.

The title and theme for the exhibition can be understood in terms of journeys that are emotional, pilgrimage, personal, biblical etc.

We encouraged our artists to reflect broadly on the theme and 23 artists have responded with imagery that ranges from birth and death (the journey of life) to geographical journeys (including street scenes), plastic pollution (blown or washed around the globe), and Stations of the Cross, among others.

A mix of abstract and representational imagery has been created, utilising ceramics, collage, digital illustration, drawing, painting, photography and sculpture.

The exhibition includes work by Ally Ashworth, Hayley Bowen, Harvey Bradley, Irina Bradley, Cathie Chappell, Christopher Clack, Valerie Dean, Jonathan Evens, Mary Donaghey, Maurizio Galia, Michael Garaway, John Gentry, Laura Grenci, Barbara Harris, Deborah Harrison, David Hawkins, Anthony Hodgson, Mark Lewis, David Millidge, Dorothy Morris, Janet Roberts, and Henry Shelton.

The exhibition can be viewed during the church’s normal opening hours – Mon – Fri 10.00am – 6.00pm, Sat – Sun 10.00am – 5.00pm (except during services).

The Private View will be held on Monday 15 October from 6.00pm.

During the period of the exhibition we will also will hold our AGM. Our AGM will be held at 2.00pm at All Hallows by the Tower on Sunday 28 October. We hope many of you will attend. At the AGM Mark Lewis will provide information about next year’s commission4mission Art Retreat with the Othona Community in Bradwell-on-Sea (7 – 10 May 2019).
