At our Gathering this February, we will view the award-winning short film Abstraction, and hear from its subject, Dianne Collard, Director of ArtsCharlotte and author of I Choose to Forgive. Our conversation will center around the question of how art can play a role in the journey of forgiveness and reconciliation. We can’t wait to see where this conversation takes us as we continue to seek to nurture the soul of our city through the arts.

No matter our vocation: whether we’re visual artists, writers, actors or directors, church leaders, business people, students or parents, we are all called to forgive. Join us as we explore how the arts can play a role in that journey.
