Home & Hearth
Being inspired by the theme of Spirit and Place for 2016, this year’s Women’s Exhibition at Indiana Interchurch Center will explore your expressions and feelings around “Home and Hearth.” For each of us home is distinctive, whether a house or simply a place that resonates throughout our lives as “home.” We also have the capacity, perhaps even longing, to create a home – a place that will embody all that we hold dear. Participating artists will create their own home using clay, wood or other various materials, or creating a 2-d expression such as a drawing or painting.
