CLOISTER GALLERY
"For [art and music] are not the thing itself;
they are only the scent of a flower we have not found,
the echo of a tune we have not heard,
news from a country we have never yet visited."
C. S. Lewis
The Cloister Gallery at Grace Cathedral is intended to provide a space for the celebration of the fine arts and to encourage awareness of the deep connections between creativity and spirituality. In keeping with the long-established appreciation of the fine arts in the Anglican spiritual tradition, the Gallery seeks to help people cultivate a fulsome awareness of the relationship between creative expression and human thriving.
The Gallery schedule typically consists of shows dedicated to works by a single artist. Shows usually rotate on a monthly basis. Artists of all styles and backgrounds are invited and encouraged to consider displaying their work at the Gallery.
NOW SHOWING: Angela Lexow
"Art has always been my way of being rooted in curiosity and transformation—to the world, to memory, to what’s unseen. My creative process follows the rhythm of curiosity: shifting mediums, exploring new ideas, and letting materials guide the story.
I work primarily in mixed media drawing and acrylic paint, weaving influences from the Kansas and New Mexico landscape, myth, and seasonal cycles with symbols drawn from pagan and tattoo traditions. Each piece becomes a dialogue between inner experience and outer form— a bridge between inner reflection and the world around me. A reflection of transformation, continuity, and wonder.
I have exhibited nationally and throughout Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and the Southwest and have co-directed galleries and guilds that foster creative community and exchange. Most recently, I was chosen to participate in Kansas City’s Parade of Hearts and create a public art piece for the city."
