I am delighted to announce that EGK Art has joined forces with the Open Table Network and will be holding exhibitions in Cathedrals and town centre Churches over 2023 and 2024. February 2024, LGBTQ+ History Month, we are booked with Coventry Cathedral.

The Open Table Network exists to encouage welcoming church spaces for members and allies of people who identify as LGBTQ+. We decided to work together because we share a commitment to inclusivity in the name of God. We a have chosen city centre locations because they attract tourists who visit Cathedrals and notable buildings. Such visitor attractions are an ideal place to show via my artwork that inclusivity is possible, imaginable even, and shows up in images depicting God topics. If visitors can literally see people in gatherings with no barriers, it may be possible for them to a) begin to see that not all Christianity is exclusive to a few, and b) perhaps start believing the Gospel of wide ranging love.

Our relationship is that the exhibits are of my work, and 40% of sales from the exhibition (originals and ordered prints of any work sold because people learned of it from the exhibtion) will be given to the OTN. Some prints and cards will be sold by the Cathedrals or Churches so that they also can reimburse their own costs. If you worship in, or know of a city centre Church or Cathedral and would be interested in talking with us, please use my contact page to get in touch with me.

One of the paintings which will always be on display (the original or a print if the original is sold) is Nativity Tancred, looking at you from this page. He’ll have his own page in due course!
