THE GALLERY AT GFC

“Painting and Drawing From Life”

by the Artists of GFC’s
Monday Sketch Group

Up next in the Gallery at GFC is a very special exhibition featuring works created by a group of talented artists who gather weekly in our church. Every Monday afternoon, this dedicated community of creators meets in GFC’s classrooms to share their passion for art, encourage one another, and develop their craft.

According to the group’s current spokesperson, Christy Gallagher, the Monday gatherings have become more than just a time to make art—they are a space for friendship, inspiration, and mutual support. Their artistic journey together has stretched across several years, and this exhibition is both a reflection of that ongoing collaboration and a celebration of the creative spirit nurtured within our community.

The works selected for display align with this year’s overarching Gallery theme, “Made by Humans.” Through this lens, the pieces explore the beauty, complexity, and meaning found in art that is born out of lived experience, human connection, and shared imagination.

This exhibition also carries a deep sense of gratitude and remembrance as it honors Elizabeth Gaynor, the founder of the Monday art group. Elizabeth was not only a gifted artist herself but also a passionate advocate for the arts and a generous supporter of creative expression at GFC. Her passing last year was felt profoundly by our community, and this show serves as a tribute to her vision, leadership, and enduring legacy.

The exhibition will run from October 10 through November 30, 2025.
We warmly invite you to join us at a special reception open to the public on November 7, 2025 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM, where guests will have the opportunity to meet the artists, hear more about their work, and celebrate the gift of creativity together.
