The final library workshop of the quarter, Sacred Art, will occur Friday, Nov. 6, at noon in room 413 in the library. In this workshop, we’ll find images of sacred art and architecture from the world’s religions. We’ll discuss resources that will help you decode these images and further your scholarly research. We’ll end by looking at contemporary artists who incorporate religion into their work. E-mail sfortin@scad.edu to reserve your seat. Don’t miss the last workshop of the quarter!
