Art Commission Statement
1. Engagement of Services
In an effort to keep with the cultural and religious diversity of our city, we desire to obtain a movable art installation for the purpose of being placed in the foyer of our newly constructed Interfaith Cultural and Historical Center. The parameters of this commission will be as follows:
a) The piece is to be a representation of the history of Christianity through the ages. It is to begin with the dawn of time and the creation of Adam and Eve, continue on to show the introduction of Judaism throughout the world, move on to the birth of Christ, cover his works and his teachings, and finally end with the crucifixion and introduction of Christianity. This installation will be perfect for the Interfaith Cultural and Historical Center in that it can stand as a visual representation of how Judaism and Christianity intertwine.
b) The artist that creates this unique piece will contribute a great service to our community in that they will bring a greater understanding and clarity to the life of Jesus Christ and the occurrences that led to the creation of the Christian religion.
c) This piece will serve to identify the original desire of God for men not to perish but to reign and have dominion over the Earth. However, once his instructions were violated by Adam and Eve those actions brought the world under the subjection of the law. This installation will display how God gave Jesus, his only son, in order to serve as a sacrifice for the redemption of the sins of his people. Therefore freeing them from under the parameters of the Jewish law and now operating in the grace of Christianity.
d) This art installation will bring great value to the Interfaith Cultural and Historical Center and serve as an asset in our efforts to promote understanding and cohesiveness across cultural and religious lines. It will bring awareness to those who may not be well...
