Friday evening, I attended the opening night of De•compositions, a group exhibition at St. Joseph’s Church Parish Hall (371 6th Avenue) in Greenwich Village, New York. The ongoing exhibit, curated by Lucy Rahner and Erin K. McAtee and presented by Arthouse2B, features works on paper by 24 Catholic artists, including two friends from my congregation. 

Following the Mass for Artists, nearly 100 attendees adjourned to the gallery space for refreshments and light fare. In addition to the art on display, guests were treated to some original choral music, spoken word, and interpretive dance performances.

De•compositions will run until April 9, 2025.
