The exhibit is based on the book, "The End of Words: The Language of Reconciliation in a Culture of Violence," by Richard Lischer, professor of preaching at the Divinity School. The art, which is in a variety of media, was created by Divinity School students, faculty, staff, alumni, and/or their immediate families.

There also will be an artists’ reception and open house April 13 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. on the outdoor terrace of the Divinity School. The rain location is the York Reading Room. The free reception is open to the public.

The exhibit is directed and curated by Th.D. student Laura Levens in association with the New Creation Arts Group. The winners of the juried art show will be announced at the Broadway Revue Benefit Concert on April 21.

The juror for this year’s exhibit is Courtney Reid-Eaton, exhibitions director of the Duke University Center for Documentary Studies. She is a photographer, book and mixed media artist, and the former photo editor of Guideposts magazine and director of the Vis-à-vis Gallery at St. Clement’s Episcopal Church in New York City.
