Creative Labor Is Holy Work: An Art Show for NYC Artists

In the Gospels, when the people were hungry, Jesus took a few loaves and fishes, and everyone ate and was satisfied, and there was even food left over.
(Matthew 15:29–39)

This art show, “Creative Labor is Holy Work,” draws a parallel between Jesus’s act of nourishment and the work of artists.

Today, many artists are underfunded or working with limited resources, in an economy that exploits them. Many artists are only celebrated after they die.

“Creative Labor is Holy Work” gathers together local and underrepresented artists, whose labor sustains culture, challenges injustice, and feeds the spiritual lives of our communities.

If you are able, please come prepared to buy or invest in an artist’s work. Supporting artists is a form of activism.

When artists are fed, communities are fed.

All are welcome.
