Sister Margaret Ann Pilewski, OSB, announces the opening of the Benedictine Sisters of Erie Spring Art Show on Sunday, March 7 from 10:30 a.m. until noon in the Chapter 57 Gallery at Mount St. Benedict Monastery, 6101 East Lake Road, Erie.

This annual show celebrates Women’s History Month and is an invitational show of Benedictine Sisters, Oblates and friends. It continues through April 11.

Gallery hours are Sundays 10:30 a.m.-noon, and weekdays, 3-5 p.m.

Sister Margaret Ann explains:
“Participants were asked to think in a large format with framed pieces measuring 11” x 14” and larger. So many pieces of beauty surround us and take new meaning when they are enlarged. The two-dimensional works invite us to step back and see with new eyes what has always been before us – God’s beauty.

“This was also an invitation to participants to see their work in a large format and to challenge them to risk seeing their work in this format.”

Sister Margaret Ann is the art coordinator for the Inner-City Neighborhood Art House and the manager of Chapter 57, the fine arts gift shop at Mount St. Benedict. She works in photography, ceramics and stained glass.
