The Wolves, the Lambs and the Rev. Opening Reception: Thursday, November 3 from 7 to 9 p.m.Artist Talk: Saturday, November 5 from 1 to 3 p.m.This exhibit features paintings by Kate Javens. The inspiration for her paintings is the profound story of the life and works of a heroic woman, the Reverend Linnette C. Williamson (1923-1990). The Rev. - as Williamson came to be known - was ordained in 1956 and led the Christ Community Church of Harlem. She spent her life dedicated in service to the people of Harlem, and in so doing she created an event in the life of a city, changing the lives of people in desperate need and marking forever a place where something remarkable happened. The title of the exhibition refers to the vision of the church leaders in Harlem to create a mission embodying the essence of the bible passage 'When the wolf lies down with the lamb' on a block that was once called the most dangerous block in New York City.
