Icons and drawings on display at Archabbey Library Gallery through Aug. 30

An exhibit of icons and drawings by Eastern Province of the Passionist Community Brother Michael Moran are on display at the Saint Meinrad Archabbey Library Gallery, 200 Hill Dr., in St. Meinrad, now through Aug. 30.

Brother Michael translates this ancient art form of the Eastern Christian Churches into contemporary terms. His icons are very stylized, flat and almost two-dimensional when compared to their western cousins. Usually painted on wooden panels with gold leaf backgrounds and halos, they are colorful and more concerned with embodying theological truths than mirroring the material world, and the figures depicted can appear stern or preoccupied.

For library hours, call 812-357-6401 or 800-987-7311, or go to www.saintmeinrad.edu/library/library-hours.

The exhibit is free and open to the public. Those wishing to view the exhibit may want to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing time.

‘Music on the Mount’ concerts planned on Aug. 31 and Sept. 28

Two “Music on the Mount” concerts are planned outdoors by the lake at Mount St. Francis Center for Spirituality, 101 St. Anthony Dr., in Mt. St. Francis, in August and September.

On Aug. 31, the Todd Hildreth Trio will be the featured entertainment from 6-8 p.m.

The Down on Fifth Band will perform from 5-7 p.m. on Sept. 28.

There is no charge to attend. Beer, wine, cheese and fruit trays will be available for purchase, and attendees should bring chairs or blankets.
