Holy Innocents’ Faculty Artworks Showcased at Ventulett Gallery

Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School will focus on the work of its talented faculty when a new show opens at the Ventulett Gallery on campus, beginning Monday, Aug. 15. “Collective Visions… Artists Who Teach,” will run through Sept. 29.

A free opening reception for “Collective Visions” is scheduled Thursday, Aug. 18, from 6–8 p.m. in the light-filled gallery, located just inside Holy Innocents’ Episcopal Church.

Showcased in the exhibit will be a wide range of works by teachers Maria-Louise Coil, Jeri Glaze, Judie Jacobs, Alice Thompson and Charles Watson.

“Holy Innocents’ offers one of the most vibrant, comprehensive arts programs in the state,” Upper School art teacher Judie Jacobs said. “Students in Primary School through 12th grade are offered opportunities to discover their ‘artists within’ as musicians, thespians, and media or visual artists.”

Classroom experiences include visits by guest artists, field trips and displays of student art throughout campus. Selected student artworks are also included in an annual six-week exhibit at the High Museum of Art.

View the new exhibit during church hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., and during service times on Sunday. Holy Innocents’ Episcopal Church is located at 805 Mt. Vernon Hwy., N.W., Atlanta, Ga., 30327.
