She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7


The Gospel of St. Luke provides the only description of where Christ was born, as it mentions him being placed in a manger. This suggests that Mary gave birth in a stable. Although many stables of this region and time period were built in caves, crèches, the three-dimensional representation of the nativity scene, have a diversity of stables and settings, including the most commonly used type of stable, an open-front wood structure. However, many artisans model their crèches after buildings and landscapes that are native to their homelands.


This exhibit includes a variety of crèches that showcase different examples of stables and mangers. In addition, it also highlights the creation of a handful of crèches that have settings customized to display the figures. These crèches include, the Marcel Carbonel Santons of Marseille, France, Fontanini of Bagni di Lucca, Italy, the Neapolitan crèche by Cantone and Costabile of Naples Italy, and the newest additions to our collection by United States based Navidad Nativities: the St. Francis Nativity, with figures by Ulpe Wood Art and St. Mary’s crèche with figures by Original Heide, both from Italy.

Most of the Christians who live in Africa are in the Sub-Saharan nations (nations south of the Sahara Desert), though Christians are found throughout the entire continent. According to a Pew Study in 2018, Christianity is growing the fastest within African countries than anywhere else in the world. Christianity spread into Africa as early as the first century, particularly throughout Northern Africa, and continued right up until the seventh century, when armies practicing the new Islamic faith spread into Africa.


The next era of growth began in the 15th century, when many European countries, starting with Portugal, began searching for alternative trade routes to Asia. Europeans established trade posts along the western coast of Africa and sent missionaries to spread the faith. These missionaries brought their own simple plaster crèches with them, and they later enlisted the aid of local artisans to create variations reflective of their own cultures and traditions. These local artisans used native materials that were both abundant and accessible — a tradition that continues to this day.


In recent years, Christians in several nations within the African continent have been subjected to persecution resulting in the displacement of millions and numerous deaths. Despite this, the people’s dedication to their faith is unwavering. It is in honor of their spirit and determination that the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is pleased to exhibit more than 50 works representing 23 countries across the African continent. This exhibit also explores some of the traditions and festivities that have developed throughout Africa to celebrate the season.

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.


Free and open to the public.


This exhibition will be on view at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music’s Miller Hall at 406 Prospect Street, New Haven from October 24-December 5 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12-4 p.m., except for Thursday, November 28 when the ISM is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. Sponsored by the Institute of Sacred Music’s Religion, Ecology, and Expressive Culture Initiative.


View details about the art exhibit on the event website.

 

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.

Margaret Ewing, the Horace W. Goldsmith Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, leads a discussion on Maren Hassinger’s Monument (Pyramid) (2022). Acquired in 2024, the monumental sculpture is made of hundreds of thin, tightly woven tree branches and reflects the importance of community engagement in Hassinger’s practice. In late September, it was constructed in the Margaret and Angus Wurtele Sculpture Garden by Yale undergraduate students and members of the Gallery’s staff. The talk will share details about the installation process and explore how Monument (Pyramid) exemplifies Hassinger’s characteristic marriage of spare forms with social and political themes, including questions about who has access to nature and about our relationships to the built and natural environments.

Based on the myths of Ovid

Written by Mary Zimmerman

Directed by Alexis Kulani Woodard



Based on Ovid’s epic poem, Metamorphoses is a whimsical meditation on the perils of being human—from the ordinary to the unimaginable—charged by the transformative power of love. Metamorphoses is a musing on how we create community brimming with gods and heroes, glory and possibility, unending sorrow, and epic joy.

The Kevin Saint James Band is a collective of professional New Haven area Jazz musicians brought together in collaboration with veteran saloon-singer Kevin Saint James. The band revisits, re-interprets and recreates true-to-form selections of classic jazz favorites and popular standards in a variety of artistic styles with a rare balance of musically "scientific" re-invention and profound reverence for historic significance and tradition. The band has a genuinely unique capacity for working spontaneous experimentation into their respectful reinterpretations of familiar popular standards that transport more mature audiences back in time to the sounds of days long ago, while recreating, re-introducing and perhaps even endearing these precious melodies to younger listeners at the same time.

She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7


The Gospel of St. Luke provides the only description of where Christ was born, as it mentions him being placed in a manger. This suggests that Mary gave birth in a stable. Although many stables of this region and time period were built in caves, crèches, the three-dimensional representation of the nativity scene, have a diversity of stables and settings, including the most commonly used type of stable, an open-front wood structure. However, many artisans model their crèches after buildings and landscapes that are native to their homelands.


This exhibit includes a variety of crèches that showcase different examples of stables and mangers. In addition, it also highlights the creation of a handful of crèches that have settings customized to display the figures. These crèches include, the Marcel Carbonel Santons of Marseille, France, Fontanini of Bagni di Lucca, Italy, the Neapolitan crèche by Cantone and Costabile of Naples Italy, and the newest additions to our collection by United States based Navidad Nativities: the St. Francis Nativity, with figures by Ulpe Wood Art and St. Mary’s crèche with figures by Original Heide, both from Italy.

Most of the Christians who live in Africa are in the Sub-Saharan nations (nations south of the Sahara Desert), though Christians are found throughout the entire continent. According to a Pew Study in 2018, Christianity is growing the fastest within African countries than anywhere else in the world. Christianity spread into Africa as early as the first century, particularly throughout Northern Africa, and continued right up until the seventh century, when armies practicing the new Islamic faith spread into Africa.


The next era of growth began in the 15th century, when many European countries, starting with Portugal, began searching for alternative trade routes to Asia. Europeans established trade posts along the western coast of Africa and sent missionaries to spread the faith. These missionaries brought their own simple plaster crèches with them, and they later enlisted the aid of local artisans to create variations reflective of their own cultures and traditions. These local artisans used native materials that were both abundant and accessible — a tradition that continues to this day.


In recent years, Christians in several nations within the African continent have been subjected to persecution resulting in the displacement of millions and numerous deaths. Despite this, the people’s dedication to their faith is unwavering. It is in honor of their spirit and determination that the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is pleased to exhibit more than 50 works representing 23 countries across the African continent. This exhibit also explores some of the traditions and festivities that have developed throughout Africa to celebrate the season.

Free event: Thursday, November 21, at 7:30pm, Morse Recital Hall, Yale University.


On Thursday, November 21, Frances Pollock, founder of Midnight Oil Collective and MOC Innovations and leader of the Arts Track at the annual Yale Innovation Summit, will present an excerpt of the new musical she is creating with lyricist and book writer Kathleen Wrinn. This musical itself is the intellectual property of one of twelve new artist-led companies that Midnight Oil Collective has launched over the past three years, in an innovative model that allows for arts IP across mediums to incubate and scale like tech startups.


As part of the evening, Pollock will share a vision for an arts ecosystem that supports artist ownership, aligns incentives between artists and the arts organizations, and positions New Haven as the center of a Silicon Valley of the Arts–and will show how The Bridge is one example of how a work can be incubated and gain traction in this new landscape.


In fact, the very story of The Bridge is itself a story of innovation–though it pulls no punches in exploring how messy and difficult that progress can be.


The Bridge is based on the true story of the woman who secretly engineered the Brooklyn Bridge. When her husband falls mysteriously ill and is unable to continue as Chief Engineer, Emily Roebling took up the reins of the most ambitious project of the age, half a century before women were allowed to vote. Set in the fractured wake of the American Civil War, the musical explores the forces that unite and divide us–across lines of gender, race, nationality, and socioeconomic status. Beginning with Emily and expanding outward to the countless unrecognized individuals who contributed to the construction of this iconic work, The Bridge shines a light on those whose lives, loves, and labors have historically been left in the shadows, asking the central questions: What does progress really look like? And who actually drives it?


The event is free for all to attend and will be followed by a reception at the Yale School of Music. Attendees can RSVP through this link: https://forms.gle/LKhFUXgd5KVF6zq18

Most of the Christians who live in Africa are in the Sub-Saharan nations (nations south of the Sahara Desert), though Christians are found throughout the entire continent. According to a Pew Study in 2018, Christianity is growing the fastest within African countries than anywhere else in the world. Christianity spread into Africa as early as the first century, particularly throughout Northern Africa, and continued right up until the seventh century, when armies practicing the new Islamic faith spread into Africa.


The next era of growth began in the 15th century, when many European countries, starting with Portugal, began searching for alternative trade routes to Asia. Europeans established trade posts along the western coast of Africa and sent missionaries to spread the faith. These missionaries brought their own simple plaster crèches with them, and they later enlisted the aid of local artisans to create variations reflective of their own cultures and traditions. These local artisans used native materials that were both abundant and accessible — a tradition that continues to this day.


In recent years, Christians in several nations within the African continent have been subjected to persecution resulting in the displacement of millions and numerous deaths. Despite this, the people’s dedication to their faith is unwavering. It is in honor of their spirit and determination that the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is pleased to exhibit more than 50 works representing 23 countries across the African continent. This exhibit also explores some of the traditions and festivities that have developed throughout Africa to celebrate the season.

She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7


The Gospel of St. Luke provides the only description of where Christ was born, as it mentions him being placed in a manger. This suggests that Mary gave birth in a stable. Although many stables of this region and time period were built in caves, crèches, the three-dimensional representation of the nativity scene, have a diversity of stables and settings, including the most commonly used type of stable, an open-front wood structure. However, many artisans model their crèches after buildings and landscapes that are native to their homelands.


This exhibit includes a variety of crèches that showcase different examples of stables and mangers. In addition, it also highlights the creation of a handful of crèches that have settings customized to display the figures. These crèches include, the Marcel Carbonel Santons of Marseille, France, Fontanini of Bagni di Lucca, Italy, the Neapolitan crèche by Cantone and Costabile of Naples Italy, and the newest additions to our collection by United States based Navidad Nativities: the St. Francis Nativity, with figures by Ulpe Wood Art and St. Mary’s crèche with figures by Original Heide, both from Italy.

Europeans established trade posts along the western coast of Africa and sent missionaries to spread the faith. These missionaries brought their own simple plaster crèches with them, and they later enlisted the aid of local artisans to create variations reflective of their own cultures and traditions. These local artisans used native materials that were both abundant and accessible — a tradition that continues to this day.


In recent years, Christians in several nations within the African continent have been subjected to persecution resulting in the displacement of millions and numerous deaths. Despite this, the people’s dedication to their faith is unwavering. It is in honor of their spirit and determination that the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is pleased to exhibit more than 50 works representing 23 countries across the African continent. This exhibit also explores some of the traditions and festivities that have developed throughout Africa to celebrate the season.

She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7


The Gospel of St. Luke provides the only description of where Christ was born, as it mentions him being placed in a manger. This suggests that Mary gave birth in a stable. Although many stables of this region and time period were built in caves, crèches, the three-dimensional representation of the nativity scene, have a diversity of stables and settings, including the most commonly used type of stable, an open-front wood structure. However, many artisans model their crèches after buildings and landscapes that are native to their homelands.


This exhibit includes a variety of crèches that showcase different examples of stables and mangers. In addition, it also highlights the creation of a handful of crèches that have settings customized to display the figures. These crèches include, the Marcel Carbonel Santons of Marseille, France, Fontanini of Bagni di Lucca, Italy, the Neapolitan crèche by Cantone and Costabile of Naples Italy, and the newest additions to our collection by United States based Navidad Nativities: the St. Francis Nativity, with figures by Ulpe Wood Art and St. Mary’s crèche with figures by Original Heide, both from Italy.

Most of the Christians who live in Africa are in the Sub-Saharan nations (nations south of the Sahara Desert), though Christians are found throughout the entire continent. According to a Pew Study in 2018, Christianity is growing the fastest within African countries than anywhere else in the world. Christianity spread into Africa as early as the first century, particularly throughout Northern Africa, and continued right up until the seventh century, when armies practicing the new Islamic faith spread into Africa.


The next era of growth began in the 15th century, when many European countries, starting with Portugal, began searching for alternative trade routes to Asia. Europeans established trade posts along the western coast of Africa and sent missionaries to spread the faith.

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.


Free and open to the public.


This exhibition will be on view at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music’s Miller Hall at 406 Prospect Street, New Haven from October 24-December 5 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12-4 p.m., except for Thursday, November 28 when the ISM is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday.

She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7


The Gospel of St. Luke provides the only description of where Christ was born, as it mentions him being placed in a manger. This suggests that Mary gave birth in a stable. Although many stables of this region and time period were built in caves, crèches, the three-dimensional representation of the nativity scene, have a diversity of stables and settings, including the most commonly used type of stable, an open-front wood structure. However, many artisans model their crèches after buildings and landscapes that are native to their homelands.


This exhibit includes a variety of crèches that showcase different examples of stables and mangers. In addition, it also highlights the creation of a handful of crèches that have settings customized to display the figures. These crèches include, the Marcel Carbonel Santons of Marseille, France, Fontanini of Bagni di Lucca, Italy, the Neapolitan crèche by Cantone and Costabile of Naples Italy, and the newest additions to our collection by United States based Navidad Nativities: the St. Francis Nativity, with figures by Ulpe Wood Art and St. Mary’s crèche with figures by Original Heide, both from Italy.

Most of the Christians who live in Africa are in the Sub-Saharan nations (nations south of the Sahara Desert), though Christians are found throughout the entire continent. According to a Pew Study in 2018, Christianity is growing the fastest within African countries than anywhere else in the world. Christianity spread into Africa as early as the first century, particularly throughout Northern Africa, and continued right up until the seventh century, when armies practicing the new Islamic faith spread into Africa.


The next era of growth began in the 15th century, when many European countries, starting with Portugal, began searching for alternative trade routes to Asia. Europeans established trade posts along the western coast of Africa and sent missionaries to spread the faith. These missionaries brought their own simple plaster crèches with them, and they later enlisted the aid of local artisans to create variations reflective of their own cultures and traditions. These local artisans used native materials that were both abundant and accessible — a tradition that continues to this day.


In recent years, Christians in several nations within the African continent have been subjected to persecution resulting in the displacement of millions and numerous deaths. Despite this, the people’s dedication to their faith is unwavering. It is in honor of their spirit and determination that the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is pleased to exhibit more than 50 works representing 23 countries across the African continent. This exhibit also explores some of the traditions and festivities that have developed throughout Africa to celebrate the season.

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.


Free and open to the public.


This exhibition will be on view at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music’s Miller Hall at 406 Prospect Street, New Haven from October 24-December 5 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12-4 p.m., except for Thursday, November 28 when the ISM is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. Sponsored by the Institute of Sacred Music’s Religion, Ecology, and Expressive Culture Initiative.


View details about the art exhibit on the event website.

 

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.

The Kevin Saint James Band is a collective of professional New Haven area Jazz musicians brought together in collaboration with veteran saloon-singer Kevin Saint James. The band revisits, re-interprets and recreates true-to-form selections of classic jazz favorites and popular standards in a variety of artistic styles with a rare balance of musically "scientific" re-invention and profound reverence for historic significance and tradition. The band has a genuinely unique capacity for working spontaneous experimentation into their respectful reinterpretations of familiar popular standards that transport more mature audiences back in time to the sounds of days long ago, while recreating, re-introducing and perhaps even endearing these precious melodies to younger listeners at the same time.

Exhibition open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm EXCEPT Thursday, November 28 (Thanksgiving) and Wednesday, December 25 (Christmas Day) with free parking and admission.


Most of the Christians who live in Africa are in the Sub-Saharan nations (nations south of the Sahara Desert), though Christians are found throughout the entire continent. According to a Pew Study in 2018, Christianity is growing the fastest within African countries than anywhere else in the world. Christianity spread into Africa as early as the first century, particularly throughout Northern Africa, and continued right up until the seventh century, when armies practicing the new Islamic faith spread into Africa.


The next era of growth began in the 15th century, when many European countries, starting with Portugal, began searching for alternative trade routes to Asia. Europeans established trade posts along the western coast of Africa and sent missionaries to spread the faith. These missionaries brought their own simple plaster crèches with them, and they later enlisted the aid of local artisans to create variations reflective of their own cultures and traditions. These local artisans used native materials that were both abundant and accessible — a tradition that continues to this day.


In recent years, Christians in several nations within the African continent have been subjected to persecution resulting in the displacement of millions and numerous deaths. Despite this, the people’s dedication to their faith is unwavering. It is in honor of their spirit and determination that the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is pleased to exhibit more than 50 works representing 23 countries across the African continent. This exhibit also explores some of the traditions and festivities that have developed throughout Africa to celebrate the season.
