Invitation to Biola Alumni and Faculty !

The Befriending Wilderness exhibition invites artworks that engage with the experiences of creative, spiritual, and vocational "wilderness". This project is sponsored by Creative Arts Collective at Belmont University and aims at listening well to the 'wilderness' experiences of Christian visual artists and collecting wisdom gained from navigating these seasons of confusion or uncertainty to help others.

These artworks can depict or embody (in a personal way) the artist's ideas, feelings, or experiences of 'wilderness.' Each artist may submit one work only for the show.

In anticipation of our annual Advent Project which will be released later during the Fall semester, here's a throwback poem from the last Advent Project collection.
About Poet:

Carolyn D. Wright (1949–2016) was an American poet. She was a MacArthur Fellow, a Guggenheim Fellow, and the poet laureate of Rhode Island. She earned a B.A. in French from the University of Memphis (1971) and briefly attended law school before leaving to pursue an M.F.A. from the University of Arkansas. Wright's poetry is rooted in a sense of place and time and often employs distinct voices in dialogue, particularly those of the American South. Her work is formally inventive and often documentary in spirit, in the sense that it honors those whose stories or voices might be lost were it not for her own writing.

He is Risen! Happy Easter Sunday!

"But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.'" [Mark 16:6 NKJV]
