UUCG and the Arts
At UUCG, we love art. Our Chalice Arts group curates exhibits by local artists that grace our sanctuary. Throughout the year we rotate in works from a variety of artists.
The banner below hangs in the foyer of our church. It was created by forty members, adults and youth, over a period of four years in the mid-1970s under the leadership of renowned artist Judy Meyers. It was presented to the congregation in the Spring of 1978.
