Advent Art by Scott Erickson

Nov 16, 2023 | by Glynis Eckert

Is the Christmas story just something that happened a long time ago . . . or is it a story that is still happening today?

Introducing the captivating Advent Art series by renowned artist Scott Erickson. We invite you to embark on a visual journey that transcends the boundaries of time and tradition. Located along our outdoor walkway, these evocative images tell the timeless story of the birth of Christ, inviting viewers to contemplate the profound significance of the Advent season year-round. Each work of art includes a QR code, which will take you to some writing designed to enhance your experience.

Scott Erickson's masterful creations breathe life into the age-old narrative, infusing it with a fresh perspective that resonates with people from all walks of life. The outdoor display serves as a constant reminder of the enduring beauty and relevance of the Christmas story. By showcasing these artworks beyond the confines of a specific season, we aim to create a space where the spirit of Advent can be encountered and appreciated at any time.

Each piece in this collection is a brushstroke in the larger tapestry of the nativity narrative, capturing the essence of hope, joy, and the transformative power of the Christmas message. As you stroll along the walkway, allow the art to speak to your heart, fostering a sense of connection to the profound and sacred story that has shaped the fabric of our cultural and spiritual heritage.

In displaying Advent Art year-round, we hope to foster a contemplative atmosphere that transcends the traditional boundaries of the holiday season, inviting all who pass through to reflect on the enduring significance of the birth of Christ. Join us in this visual exploration of the sacred, as we celebrate the beauty of Advent Art and the everlasting story it tells.
