James K. A. Smith, professor of philosophy at Calvin College and editor-in-chief of Image journal, recently wrote, "When you’re cooped up in your living room for days on end, you start to notice things you hadn’t noted before…In the enforced pause of quarantine, sequestered in the same space, the things that were background get foregrounded. You attend to your environment anew."

Can a disorienting pandemic possibly focus attention? How can crisis, and a digital deluge, foster attentiveness, at home in peace or on the "front lines," helping us artfully notice what may otherwise be missed?

Join us for a conversation with featured artists and discussion with each other. This gathering will include a virtual tour of Evan Halter's new virtual exhibit “Reflections” at The Gallery at W83, led by W83 Ministry Center Director Eva Ting.

This is open to artists and friends of any (or no) faith background. Feel free to bring your own food and drink to the virtual gathering!
