CONventual ART at the VICTORIA ART LEAGUE
On the w
alls of Nazareth Convent and Incarnate Word Convent there are many priceless paintings and other forms of art displayed. These pieces of art were mainly the fruits of our early Sisters. On April 4-8 and April 11-15 the Victoria Art League invited the Sisters to exhibit some of these extraordinary pieces of art which help to tell their story over these last 150 years. On April 6th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. a special evening reception was hosted with the Sisters as we featured in addition to the art work, rare artifacts and relics from the convent collection as we presented the story of our tremendous journey from France to Texas to honor our 150th anniversary. There was a large turn-out for this occasion. -
