MINNESOTA---The Minneapolis Arts Institute has been at the forefront in exploring American cultures through their religious arts. In its newest exhibition, simply titled “Sacred,” curators have assembled art from every corner of the world. Although these works span time, distance, and disparate cultures, they share an evolving sense of the sacred. Each of the ten galleries in the exhibition features an installation or “mini-show” designed around different themes or narratives inspired by the word “sacred.” What’s sacred today? Moving beyond viewing, and dialogue, MAI invited the community to respond to one of the three works of art in the "Sacred" exhibition and submit an entry of no more than 250 words. This multidisciplinary approach to exploring culture is one of the reasons that MAI remains an American leader in religious arts & culture.
