Join David Brinker, Director of the Museum of Contemporary Religious Art, for an engaging talk on the role of sacred and spiritual imagery in contemporary art. Using Michael Tracy’s work as a focal point, Brinker will explore how artists today incorporate religious and ritualistic themes to convey meaning, challenge perceptions, and inspire reflection. A Q&A session will follow the discussion.

This program is presented in conjunction with the special exhibition, Michael Tracy: The Elegy of Distance.
