Upcoming Art Exhibition
James DeWoody - Inward and Outward—Past and Present
Reception with the Artist: Tuesday, May 7, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
On view: May 5th - August 18th, Monday - Sunday, 12 - 4 pm
Inward and Outward—Past and Present at Heavenly Rest is a retrospective art exhibition in the Undercroft Gallery that examines the evolution of DeWoody's art from his youth to the present. After Jim DeWoody’s military service, he came to New York City for graduate school at The Pratt Institute in 1972. Since then, he has worked in downtown Manhattan, making art in his Tribeca studio and teaching art in college.
DeWoody’s family joined Heavenly Rest in 1981, and he, his children, and Molly Gross collected meals cooked by parishioners in the Cooks Who Care program and delivered them to people in need. Subsequently, he became more deeply involved and supported the Heavenly Rest Narthex shelter program, two rector search committees, the CHR building committee, the Vestry, and the Darlington Hall and Undercroft renovations.
Art, architecture, and design have been the most exciting parts of his life in the Heavenly Rest parish community, advocating for the integrity of the building and its architects while remaining open to new ideas on how better to enable the call that draws us here, the steadfast desire to connect and to do good in the world. Go forth to love and serve.
