Event

The Art of Judaica

The Edenton Street Live! Fine Arts Series hosts world-renowned artist Diane Palley on Saturday, April 26 for a presentation on the ancient art of Jewish papercutting. Diane has created hundreds of original papercut images; illustrated books, posters and CD covers; designed arks, panels, and banners for architectural projects; and displayed her work in over fifty national exhibitions. She is best known in the Triangle area as the artist responsible for the two silk-screened/etched panels for the new Goodson Chapel at the Duke Divinity School in Durham.
The evening will include dinner (catered by Raleigh's Irregardless Café), the presentation of an original papercut commissioned by Edenton Street United Methodist Church on the theme of Light and Shadow: Seeing Ourselves in Text and Image and a panel discussion focused on the interpretation of Diane's artwork and the role that the arts play in interpreting spiritual/religious concepts.
