Christ, as seen through the eyes of the world, is the focus of a unique art display being shown at The House on the Rock (formerly Eastern Point School) as a message of hope during this
Easter season. These contemporary works of art were submitted by over 800 artisans from 55 different countries who share their works for free through The International Union of Mail-Artists;
an organization started in 1988. There are sculptures, drawings, paintings and photographs. Some pieces are made from wood, plastic, metal, leather and even clothespins and a Yoo-hoo soft drink can!
No two are the same, and each conveys its own emotion with the central theme of the face of Jesus Christ.
The exhibit was last shown at La Salette, North Attleboro as part of its 2011 Festival in Lights and remained in residence there for three years. Originally intended as a traveling exhibit, we are
pleased to have been selected to open this moving display here in Gloucester on Friday and Saturday, March 30 & 31 from 1:00-8:00 pm.
This free event is being sponsored by The Last Stop of Rocky Neck.
