Forum: UU Women Artists Reception

This week’s forum time will be a reception for the artists who have their work hanging in Griffin Hall. Kara Andreski, organizer of the display, will introduce the artists and give them a chance to talk about their art journeys. Come and learn how artists, new and experienced, got started and why they have a passion for making art.

“God” is, most usually and commonly, a noun. Last week we explored how to think of “god” as a verb. This week we’ll look at the adjective option. It’s not about what exists; it’s about the qualities of existence: is it wondrous, mysterious, beautiful, awesome? Those adjectives are the crux of the matter.
