Take Me As I Am: Redemption And Grace for the Discarded is an art exhibit premiering new mixed media works detailing the fight to preserve Houston’s historic Third Ward neighborhood by contemporary Southern artist Lance Flowers. The title “Take Me As I Am,” is a reference to the hymn from the late 19th century. The title is also a spot on description of Flowers’ artistic practice. His process leads him to seek out and repurpose found materials once deemed trash or an “eyesore” to tell vivid allegories steeped in Southern tradition.

All are welcome to join us for an opening reception for this art exhibit on Wednesday, October 23 at 5 p.m. View details here.

Sponsored by the Yale Institute of Sacred Music’s Religion, Ecology, and Expressive Culture Initiative.
