Knox College, Toronto, is encouraging people to explore spirituality and sacredness through art at an event on Oct. 16, run in conjunction with the Art Gallery of Ontario.
The event, entitled Sacred Art… and Divine Inspiration, will feature two keynote speakers: Father Dan Donovan, professor emeritus at St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto and an avid contemporary art collector, and Gillian McIntyre, adult program coordinator for the AGO.
“[Donovan will be] talking about his collection, his philosophy on collecting contemporary art and how the art speaks to him as a Christian,” Lisa Watson, Knox’s director of development told the Record. “[McIntyre] is going to focus on the AGO’s redesign … a reflective space that was quiet and inviting to the contemplation required to think and feel about the human condition as the art invokes it.” — C.Purvis
