Visual Thinking and Theology: Creating New Theological Thought Inspired by Clyfford Still
The Episcopal Church of Colorado and the Clyfford Still Museum are proud to present the opportunity for 80 AAR participants to tour the museum and collaborate on how visual thinking can help us create new theological ideas and insights.
Clyfford Still had a unique artistic vision and was unwilling to compromise it for money or recognition. As he evolved as an artist, Still’s works transitioned from recognizable images or landscapes to more abstract shapes, colors, and lines to express an idea or feeling on huge canvases. Still insisted that all of his work be kept together in one museum, and this led to the creation of the Clyfford Still Museum in downtown Denver, Colorado.
This unique opportunity is funded by the Episcopal Church in Colorado. This event will be on Friday evening, Nov. 20th, from 7-9 p.m. The event will include a brief presentation by Dr. Angela Hummel, an interactive tour of the museum, and collaboration on incorporating visual thinking into theological work.
The Clyfford Still Museum is located 0.7 miles away from the Colorado Convention Center. The cost of the tour includes a rideshare voucher and a donation to the Museum.
