Discover Luther’s art collection\"Bockman<\/h2>\n
Luther Seminary is the recipient of several important religious art collections.\u00a0 These materials, in a wide range of formats, are displayed on campus in formal gallery spaces as well as in general public areas.\u00a0 \u00a0Approximately\u00a040% of the collection is on view at any time, with a rotational program in place to move the pieces through\u00a0the gallery and public spaces on a regular\u00a0basis.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Among the artists whose work is highlighted\u00a0are John August Swanson, He Qi, Cephas Wong and James Quentin Young.\u00a0 Particularly important and inspiring is the Prodigal Son Collection with some 250 art pieces interpreting the Biblical parable in visual terms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Large portions of the collection are available to be used in both classroom and online instruction.\u00a0 It is intended to be a “working collection”.\u00a0 Please contact Caleb Rollins, Head of Archives and Arts, at archives@luthersem.edu<\/a>\u00a0for questions about the collection and its use.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
