St. John's Ministries - What it Feels Like to be Me:
On View May 4 - May 28

Each art piece that has a QR code is being auctioned as a fundraiser to help with direct assistance of each guest at St. John’s Ministries.

The homeless in our community are often forgotten if they are not seen. St. John’s Ministries mission is to honor the dignity, restore hope and create lasting change for those experiencing homelessness or at-risk in the greater Green Bay community. Through art, guests of St. John’s are telling their story of what it feels like to be them, going through the challenges of being homeless on their journey to becoming self-sufficient. If everyone takes a moment to understand that each person is unique, with the same inherent worth as the day they were born, the stories of our homeless brothers and sisters would be understood.

Elements: WATER:
On View May 4 - June 25

WATER is the element of constant movement. It takes on several forms: it can flow like a river, be rigid like ice, hot and bubbling, swirling and dangerous, or stagnant and sludgy. Water is fluid, having no shape of its own, but rather takes on the shape of what contains it or of the earth below it. Our bodies contain around 60% of water. In many ancient cultures, water was considered the center of life and held a divine energy. Water covers around 70% of the planet. There is a vast expanse of ocean that remains unexplored, the tales of sea-travels, whirlpools, mysterious disappearing vortexes in the middle of the ocean, or the mysterious deep dark depths with almost alien creatures swimming through them. Whatever it is, water retains its mystery and fascination.
