Amy Myers is a featured artist in 'reverence'. Born in Taylor, Texas, she received her BFA from Kansas City Art Institute, Missouri and her MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago. She has had one person shows at Rona Hoffman Gallery in Chicago, Danese Gallery in NY and the Hosfelt Gallery in San Francisco. Ms. Myers is currently represented by Michael Weiss Gallery in NY. She has been featured in many museum group shows, including the Berkley Art Center and the Johnson County Gallery of Art. Ms. Myers work has echoes of her father's profession as a physicist but rather than science, uses the rhythm of her pencil to create meditative imagery that reflects on the human body and its interrelationships with other human beings and with the world around it- a cosmic motion that brings music to the canvas.
Steven Burke was recently cited by the American Academy of Letters as a composer of rare creativity and uniqueness. He holds degrees from Sara Lawrence College, Yale and Cornell. He has worked with such notable composers as Steven Stucky, Roberto Sierra and Lucas Foss. Among his recent honors are a Guggenheim Fellowship and residencies at Yaddo and McDowell. He was awarded the Morton Gould Young Composer Award. He has received many commissions for compositions, among them from the National Symphony Orchestra and the Albany Symphony. His work "Clockwise" in memory of Jacob Druckman, was premiered by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra and the ASCAP Foundation. "A man of many moods, Burke creates already his own musical universe."

on Art and Spirituality - with Eleanor Heartney
Moderated by Helio Fred Garcia*
Sunday, December 3, 4pm:___Eleanor Heartney
Admission per event: Member $8 Non-Member $12
Eleanor Heartney, acclaimed art critic and author of the highly acclaimed Post Modern Heretics: The Catholic Imagination in Contemporary Art (NY: Midmarch Press, 2004), will be speaking to the universality of some religious iconography and religious carnal imagery as a way of opening the door to a clearer understanding of the use of this imagery by contemporary artists. Eleanor Hearney is known as a authority both nationally and internationally for her several books and numerous articles addressing the use of sexuality, death and religion in contemporary art. She is a regular contributor to Art in America and The New York Times.
In her critique of Post Modern Heretics, Maureen Mallarky writes: 'This book is an exploration of the carnality of the Catholic imagination as a way of bridging an understanding of controversial art considered to be blasphemous or transgressive. Deep views of Catholic Spirituality inform the very art that religious conservatives love to hate.'
