Opening celebration of the “Be We Whole” art exhibit in the Barn at Pendle Hill.
7:00-9:00pm, Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Free and open to the public. No registration required.
The Be We Whole exhibit will be displayed October 11, 2023 – February 26, 2024 in the Pendle Hill Barn Gallery.
The Be We Whole exhibit is a meaningful prayer of the Joined Hands Artists Collective. It is an affirmation of our collective existence as together we strive toward wholeness. Be We Whole represents an inclusivity that is the sum of all our intersections, rendering creative dialogue, acceptance, compassion, peace, and love. Our title also connects with Ferron Foisy’s song, “Testimony,” which includes the refrain:
But by my life be I spirit
And by my heart be I woman
And by my eyes be I open
And by my hands be I whole
Reception will be in the Barn, and all are welcome to attend. Meet with the artists and learn more about their works hanging in the gallery space.
You can find directions to Pendle Hill here, and a map of the campus here.
Exhibiting Artists
The Joined Hands Artists Collective was founded in 2012 by Elke Hildegard Muller, with three other members of the Fellowship of Quakers in the Arts. Over the years we have had 15 members, with three of the original four members still active in the collective. We are all Quaker or Quaker-friendly artists who create through various media: art quilts, fiber art, painting, photography, ceramics, mixed-media, book arts, and literary arts. Our collective meets monthly to share our works-in-progress with one another, to teach each other skills, and to attend events.

Today, Quakers are known to be actively involved in the creative and performing arts community; they are artists, actors, musicians, and lend their meetinghouses for art shows and performances.
It wasn’t always like this–George Fox (whose powerful vocal ministry sparked the Quaker faith in 1652) was against ornamentation in religion and viewed it as a distraction. Theater, dance, and musical performances were seen as leading Friends away from an investment in faith and virtuous reflection.
Over the years, that reality has evolved. Among many respected artists, Quaker artists have made a pronounced impact in their fields with their artistic abilities.
