The Campolo Center of Eastern University and Palmer Theological Seminary and College is delighted to host East Meets West, a visual art exhibit paying tribute to eight innovative women icon makers of Ukraine, a land where the Latin and Byzantine worlds collide and converge. These eight artists, students of a new school of iconography in the West Ukrainian cultural center of Lviv, have achieved recognition in a religious art genre traditionally dominated by men. Respectful of the theological and artistic canons of iconography, they experiment with different mediums, unusual painting techniques, and color palettes to create contemporary variations on time-honored themes.
