Les Beaux Arts Gallery
It is central to Christianity, properly understood, that there is a resemblance, a
relationship, between the beauty we experience in nature, in the arts, in a genuinely
good person and in God; and that which tantalizes, beckons, and calls us in beauty
has its origin in God.
- Richard Harries, Bishop of Oxford
Round Hill Community Church's art gallery provides a beauty that may touch us in many
many ways. The artist expresses Truth that may or may not be communicated in words.
Les Beaux Arts Gallery adds breadth and depth to what we experience in the worship and
education at Round Hill Community Church.
Recent exhibits include Richard Levine's silkscreened portraits of rural village life in southern
India; Arthur Hardigg's energetic and fluid drawings that were a "feast for the eye"; Thomas
Berntsen's black and white photographs of "dancing leaves;" Carol Dixon's embroidered collages,
photographs, and paintings emphasizing color and texture; Judith Cheng's paintings of dreamy
landscapes and fantasy scenes; Leslie Mueller's mixed-media exhibition of angels; and Anne
Strasberg's whimsical folk paintings.
The Gallery is located in the main hall just beyond the Sanctuary and is open Monday through
Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to noon.
The curator of Les Beaux Arts Gallery at Round Hill Community Church is Church-member Mirella
Joakim Hajjar, an art historian and professor of photography at Manhattanville College.
Each month a different artist from the tri-state area exhibits in our Gallery. If you are interested
