Residents who’d like to learn more about the largest religion in the world are invited to attend an art exhibit opening on Saturday.

Opening day for the Inflections Art Exhibit will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 7 at Roswell Community Masjid, which is located at 345 Market Place.

The event is the first of its kind in the Atlanta area that will showcase Islam through the arts. The exhibit is an experience based on a structured program engaging your mind and senses, organizers said.

The goal of the Roswell Community Masjid Art Exhibit is to increase public knowledge and understanding of the Muslim community through art.

This exhibit will be an opportunity for metro Atlanta to view a wide variety of artifacts that showcase and highlight the diversity and richness of Islamic art. The event will also feature artwork that will range from ceramics, to textiles, paintings, woodwork, metalwork and furniture accessories.

This event will set the stage for a rich, authentic educational experience allowing visitors to engage in meaningful conversations and learn about the principles that help shape Islamic Art.

It will challenge the preconceived notions people might have, and enable American Muslims to write their own narrative, thus building towards an all-encompassing state of coexistence for this and future generations.

You can register to attend the event online. The exhibit will open to the public on Sunday, Nov. 8.
