May 25th Query: who do you think you are?
Still, Small Voice draws its name from the idea of the "still, small voice" within—a quiet, inner voice that guides us in moments of reflection. This monthly gathering, started in 2023 as an artistic experiment, now returns as a community-led practice with rotating facilitators. It invites participants to engage in silent reflection and thoughtful sharing, centered around a question about creativity, community, and being human. We forever ever grateful for Nanao Anton & Erling Hope for their contributions, inspirations, and commitment.
This is a space to hear your and others’ authentic voices & own it in community, free of judgement or reaction, as necessary
This is not group therapy, a study group, a political action group or Quaker Meeting.

Our inspirational annual tradition returns, and this year our Summer Dinner Theater benefit welcomes the interdisciplinary artist and iconic performer Laurie Anderson to the stage.
A true Renaissance woman, the five-time Grammy-nominated musician, award-winning writer, director, and visual artist treats the audience to an evening of stories and songs.
All proceeds benefit our year-round exhibitions, programming, and artist residency, making The Church a vital source for inspiring art, creativity, and community. Fast becoming one of the most beloved annual ‘un-galas,’ our artful approach to the benefit format is popular and much in demand.
Step inside The Church on June 21st from 6 to 7:30 PM to witness its latest transformation as The Ark opens its doors for its first public viewing. The 2025 Summer exhibition curated by Eric Fischl, refers directly to the myth of the Deluge: an event of such apocalyptic scale, forewarned, unheeded, and unstoppable, that it appeared it would be the end of all life on earth. However, through human resourcefulness, will, and compassion, the Great Flood marked a new beginning, a do-over… a rebirth. Composed solely of animal sculptures by over 40 international artists of the last century, the exhibition looks closely at man’s relationship with animals, nature, and self.
Join us any time between 6 PM and 7:30 PM on Saturday, June 21st for the first glimpse of The Church like you’ve never seen it before! No tickets or RSVP’s are necessary for this special evening. The exhibition will be on view from Sunday, June 22 – Monday, September 1st during our exhibition hours, Thursday – Monday, 11 AM – 5 PM. Be sure to check out our sculpture installations in our public garden as well! And check out our Events Calendar for more exhibition-related programming (coming soon!). For more information about The Ark, please visit our exhibition page here.
