Third Thursday Gallery Tour: Saints & Sinners
Mardi Gras season continues all month, and the gallery lineup includes a curated collection of exhibits that reverberate the decadence, debauchery, and merrymaking evocative of the celebration. Come early for Golden Hour music, grab a “Saints & Sinners” signature cocktail at the Café Bar, and then embark on an untamed tour of artwork that explores the margins of humanity, from the virtuous to the profane.

The guided tour includes:
Guild Room
Marten Katze: The Ruins stained glass exhibit deconstructs didactive imagery of saints, symbols, and other iconography salvaged from antique windows and reassembles fragments and new painted designs into alternate narratives displayed among the original stained glass of Epiphany's Guild Room.
Sacristy Gallery
Andrew Boynton: No Land Without a Lord photography series reveals a dark side of the luxurious lifestyles of nobility. In a provocative juxtaposition to Epiphany's sacristy space that once stored sacred vestments and vessels, Boynton’s Rococo-inspired tableaus are dramatized by powder-wigged actors, flamboyant clothing, theatrical lighting, and scenes that teeter on the edge of lavish absurdity.
Slemmons Gallery
Joe Gallo: Lust in the Dust photo series and Marilyn Artus: Burlesque Diva dia Muertos mixed media sculptures, document and pay tribute to the legends of the American Burlesque and the women who paved the way for a generation of feminist performance where women are in control.
Chase Gallery
Project Onward: Saints & Sinners group show. From Sereno Wilson’s glitter-festooned cherubs to Tony Davis’s highly detailed portrayals of pimps, hustlers, and prostitutes in comic-book style drama, the exhibit examines forces of good, evil and the divisions and commonalities of our collective humanity.
Catacombs Gallery
Faith Humphrey Hill: Knitfinity invites viewers to connect with total strangers through Hill’s large-scale knit portraits that combine traditional drawing techniques, digital tools, and both hand and machine knitting. The continuous flow of fiber mirrors our human interconnectedness and results in woven tapestries that create feelings of comfort, warmth, and unity.
