Gallery Doxa Art Show
PazNaz’s second annual Gallery Doxa art show Bathed in the Same Light is coming soon! Last year’s show was a huge success and we can’t wait to see what this year will bring.
PazNaz’s Gallery Doxa is currently inviting submissions of artwork that meditate on God’s light that shines on all people. Artists of all ages and levels of experience are invited to submit pieces of artwork in any medium to Gallery Doxa’s Bathed in the Same Light art show. This year’s show is also expanding to include three-dimensional art. The Call for Art (online at paz.nz/light) has more details on size restrictions, due dates, and more.
Bathed in the Same Light will be exhibited in two parts. The first exhibition opens on Friday, October 3, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm in Gilmore Hall and will display all submitted artwork. The second exhibition will be Sunday, November 30 – Wednesday, December 24 and will be comprised of select pieces from the October show. For the complete Call For Art or to submit a piece of artwork to the show, please visit paz.nz/light.
Summer Giving
The summer months bring opportunities for family vacations, the creation of memories, and time to rest from our work. The summer months also bring increased expenses to PazNaz due to increased utility costs; think air conditioning, landscape maintenance, and building maintenance. We invite you to continue to remember PazNaz with your giving during the next few months as we deal with increased costs.
Common Table
July 2 menu: hot dogs, potato salad, and dessert
Theme: Independence Day
Dinner will be served 5:00-6:15 pm. The cost is $5 per person if reserved by noon on Wednesday, and $7 per person if reserved after noon on Wednesday or at the door.
