Current Exhibition

Mary Daly Art Gallery at Mercy Center

The artwork of Brian Kavanagh, best known for his provocative illustrations in the bimonthly Hartford Catholic Worker, will be featured in Mercy Center at Madison’s Mary C. Daly Art Gallery July 7 through September 30, 2008.

Fidelity to the biblical call for justice can take many forms. Here it is in ink drawn on paper. For some fourteen years - mostly on the pages of the Hartford Catholic Worker newsletter - Brian Kavanagh has made outrage and sorrow and hope powerfully visible.

The thought provoking and powerful exhibition will feature approximately 24 pieces of Brian’s art, dating from 1997 to the present.  Mercy Center is honored to be presenting this collection as Kavanagh does not usually exhibit his work.

The Hartford Catholic Worker, established in November 1993, is published by the St. Martin De Porres Catholic Worker community in the north end of Hartford. According to its website, www.hartfordcatholicworker.org, the group is focused on “working and praying for an end to violence and poverty.”  
 
 The Mary C. Daly, RSM Gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily or by appointment. For more information, call 203.245.0401.
