JBU Presents ‘Picturing Parable’

The John Brown University Art Gallery is hosting “Picturing the Parable,” a traveling exhibit from Christians in Visual Arts.

The collection of artwork by 20 artists restates the stories of Christ from new and unique perspectives - some using time-honored materials while others work in nontraditional media. The exhibit will run through Dec.

11 in the Windgate Visual Arts West building. It is free and open to the public.

Gallery hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday by special arrangement. For further information, contact Jeannie Abbott at 238-8561.
