Current Exhibit: Peace/Conflict
What is peace? What is conflict?
How do they co-exist?
Peace may be defined as the absence of conflict. Peace may be an oasis in the midst of conflict: a sunny room, a favorite treat in a quiet moment, the joy of interacting with friends, simple well-being, or active joy. Inner peace may transcend conflict, offering perspective in pursuit of outer peace.
Conversely, conflict may be defined as the absence of peace. Turmoil, agitation, fear, anxiety, and discord. In the world as in personal relationships, may be a path to peace, or to further conflict.
When is conflict necessary
to achieve peace?
Is peace the ultimate goal?

About Us
Nails in the Wall Gallery: A Ministry of St. Luke's
This permanent gallery space - a ministry of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church - continues a long tradition of providing a home for the arts. The gallery represents two years of preliminary work by the community of St. Luke's to prepare a direction and mission, ready a gallery ministry committee, determine the optimum location, and attend to the many details inherent in creating a permanent showcase for the visual arts.
One of the questions that arose was the best process to use for actually hanging the work. Various systems were discussed, but one group member dismissed most of them out of hand. “Well, what IS the best way as you see it?” the group leader questioned. “NAILS IN THE WALL” was the immediate response! “Excellent,” responded the coordinator, "and that will also be the gallery name!"
The group thought about that for several months, but the longer they considered it, the more the name grew on them. It did have a certain “biblical flavor” . . . and what’s more, that is how the work in St. Luke's Gallery is hung . . . by nails solidly placed in the wall!
We hope you feel welcome here, visit the space regularly, bring friends and allow the work to dialogue with your spirit.
The mission of Nails in the Wall Gallery, a Ministry of St. Luke's is to broaden the program
offerings of St. Luke's Episcopal Church by:
- Providing an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive place for members of St. Luke's, artists and the wider community to grow in their spirituality through the medium of art,
- Offering exhibit themes and programs that seek to respect the dignity of every human being through our mutual connection to all of God's creations,
- Intentionally encouraging young, elderly, differently-abled and disadvantaged people to experience and participate in well-curated exhibits and exhibit-related programming.
