Healing Our Humanity: Finding Hope, Love and Unity @ Steffen Thomas Museum of Art–
Healing Our Humanity: Finding Hope, Love and Unity @ Steffen Thomas Museum of ArtThe Steffen Thomas Museum has invited artists of all media and genres to its annual juried exhibition. This show aims to compile a broad range of perspectives that tell the dynamic story of our current social climate and the path forward. We will proudly feature a group of artists whose work inspires communication, healing, hope, love and unity.
This year’s exhibition is exemplified by the following quote by our namesake, Steffen Thomas.
“The most important aspect of art is communication. I use universal themes and I try to communicate with all persons. Art is unique in that a translation is not necessary, and a genuine work of art can be more powerful than a dozen ambassadors. If we can exchange our ideas and our feelings through art, I think it will be a little more difficult for us to go shooting and dropping bombs on each other. Perhaps I am an idealist, but this is what I believe and this is the purpose of my work.”
The museum is open Tuesday thru Saturday, 11AM - 4PM.

We will proudly feature a group of artists whose work inspires communication, healing, hope, love and unity.
This year’s exhibition is exemplified by the following quote by our namesake, Steffen Thomas.
“The most important aspect of art is communication. I use universal themes and I try to communicate with all persons. Art is unique in that a translation is not necessary, and a genuine work of art can be more powerful than a dozen ambassadors. If we can exchange our ideas and our feelings through art, I think it will be a little more difficult for us to go shooting and dropping bombs on each other. Perhaps I am an idealist, but this is what I believe and this is the purpose of my work.”
The museum is open Tuesday thru Saturday, 11AM - 4PM.

Healing Our Humanity: Finding Hope, Love and Unity @ Steffen Thomas Museum of Art–
Healing Our Humanity: Finding Hope, Love and Unity @ Steffen Thomas Museum of ArtThe Steffen Thomas Museum has invited artists of all media and genres to its annual juried exhibition. This show aims to compile a broad range of perspectives that tell the dynamic story of our current social climate and the path forward. We will proudly feature a group of artists whose work inspires communication, healing, hope, love and unity.
This year’s exhibition is exemplified by the following quote by our namesake, Steffen Thomas.
“The most important aspect of art is communication. I use universal themes and I try to communicate with all persons. Art is unique in that a translation is not necessary, and a genuine work of art can be more powerful than a dozen ambassadors. If we can exchange our ideas and our feelings through art, I think it will be a little more difficult for us to go shooting and dropping bombs on each other. Perhaps I am an idealist, but this is what I believe and this is the purpose of my work.”
The museum is open Tuesday thru Saturday, 11AM - 4PM.
