Cathedral Exhibition

There are 44 Cathedrals in England and Wales. Over a thousand people visit these historic bulldings each week, and this number rises over Bank Holiday weekends and special days. What a tremendous opportunity this is to tell these visitors not just about the cathedral, how it was built and the significant points about the architecture, but also to present Jesus as a personal Saviour.

This project aims to provide an exhibition in textiles that will enhance the experience of everyone who sees it. The artwork tells a story which may be in picture, word or sound format. Each of the exhibitions are put together using a Bible theme and aim to be contemporary and accessible to all. The challenge is to tell each person a little more about God and also by way of a Christian Enquiry Agency freepost response card to invite a response - particularly from those who do not know Christ as their Saviour.

Each theme is presented in a series of ten screens. The whole work is commissioned by the Deo Gloria Trust and then loaned to the various partner Cathedrals for a given period.

We now have 10 separate exhibitions:

Angels
Beatitudes
Creation
Good Grief
Jesus is...
The Journey (The Cross)
Our Father
Prayer
Rites of Passage
River of Life

Each exhibit is accompanied by a leaflet which give further details and background information. We have also commissioned exact copies of Creation, Prayer, Our Father and Rites of Passage as banner sets which are available for hire by churches.

Towards the end of 2010 we are producing a hardback book to show the work of the Cathedral Exhibition and pictures of many of the 100 screens.

The Cathedral Exhibition now has its own website located at:
