3 Faiths – 3 Artists – 1 Story
Through seven lessons drawn from the story of Noah, this timely exhibition titled NOAH: A Future Hope features three premier contemporary artists from the faith traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam whose artistic practices uniquely blend their spiritual, cultural and creative expression - Yona Verwer, Brian Whelan and Hady Boraey.
Each artist has created eight paintings that serve to visually inspire our imaginations to heal our world by honoring our intricate connection to the earth as our sustainer, and by maintaining a sacred balance with all of life that is upon it.
What can the Noah flood narrative teach us about how we should live towards preserving the earth both for ourselves and future generations? That is the question this poignant exhibition attempts to answer.
The exhibition premieres in the fall of 2025, touring for three years throughout North America, Europe and the Middle East to art venues, cultural centers and heavily-trafficked sacred spaces.
