Announcement: The Apostles Art Exhibit

Thirteen years ago, artist Michel Östlund was inspired by his great aunt to capture the character and personalities of the Apostles on canvas. Starting with sketches in oil and pastel, and then watercolor, the final oil paintings were completed in four months and exhibited for the first time in Uppsala Cathedral. Since that time, requests for the exhibition have come from many countries around the world. This is the first time "The Apostles" exhibit has been seen in the United States. Östlund will be at Gustavus for a residency from Oct. 24-29, with a closing celebration of music, poetry, and candlelight at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 26 in Christ Chapel.
