Reverend Dr. James Dabney Curtis: A Celebration of Life and Art
Opening reception: August 16, 6–8 p.m.
Closing reception: August 31, 2–5 p.m.
An exhibition of original paintings, prints and photographs spanning Jim’s entire artistic career, focusing on the themes of nature, spirituality, composition, colour and light.
Jim began painting in the early 1990’s while serving as minister of Grace Episcopal Church. He studied under numerous teachers at the Kanuga Watercolor Conference and was also self taught. He was inspired by the people, culture and artists of Haiti and the ongoing struggle of all people for civil rights. In addition to being an attorney, minister, painter and preacher, he had a gift and joy for creative expression through home design of “Art Interiors”. From 2004-2005 he was a Procter Scholar and Artist in Residence at the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, MA. His paintings have been exhibited in Atlanta, Boston, Memphis, New York City, Washington DC and in private collections throughout the USA. Join us in celebrating Jim’s legacy, life and work.
Proceeds will benefit the grounds and arboretum of Grace Episcopal Church, the James D. Curtis Memorial Fund of St. Nicholas School, and ArtsBuild.
