You're invited to our June virtual arts salon: A Spirituality for Artists.

Join Joel Kady as he offers practical insights into spirituality for artists. His main call to artists is to reconcile with their sources of inspiration, and that a covenantal relationship with sources is key. Joel will also offer insights from Hebrew and Christian aesthetics for how art can center on human flourishing, what Luke Ferretter has called "covenant aesthetics."

Joel Kady is an ordained Presbyterian minister at Redeemer Presbyterian Church West Side, Washington Heights neighbor, and art supporter through the Washington Heights Arts Salon and other endeavors.

This is open to artists and friends of any (or no) faith background. Feel free to bring your own food and drink to the virtual gathering!

The Washington Heights Arts Salon is a gathering of artists and friends where it's okay to talk about faith and spirituality. NYU art professor Thomas Crow recently said art is "probably the last remnant of magic we have." Art can serve as common ground for talking about mystery, meaning, and faith in a pluralistic culture. We hope these salons foster such dialogue between artists, religious believers or not, highlight the rich spiritual heritage and powers of art, and contribute to the arts in Washington Heights.
