A conversation with Paul Heidebrecht, the Director of the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement at Conrad Grebel University College, and Lisa Schirch, the Richard G. Starmann, Sr. Professor of the Practice of Peace Studies at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame about Mennonites, Technology, and the Possibilities for PeaceTech.

Drop by the Grebel Gallery between now and February to see artist Margruite Krahn's exhibit that restores and re-imagines hand painted Mennonite house barn floor patterns from the turn of the 20th century. Her work engages with the contrast of home as a sanctuary and a place that holds conflict, alongside changing traditions and practices of beauty.

Join visiting artist Margruite Kranh for a print making workshop at historic Brubacher House. Create your own design using traditional methods and colors on pre-primed paper or canvas placemats, or a canvas floor cloth.

Through writing and stitching we'll explore what art and conflict mean to us and our communities, surrounded by the art and poetry of Liz Wenger and the 'Art is Always Conflict' exhibit at Grebel Gallery.

The Grebel Gallery’s latest exhibit features over 50 pieces that invite reflection on the intricate nature of conflict and art. The artwork is created by Elizabeth Ann Wenger (1946-2022), a Mennonite artist who lived and worked in Goshen, Indiana, USA. This exhibit will run from Tuesday, April 1 to Tuesday, June 17.

Join us for the launch of Tending Tomorrow, Picturing Today, a new gallery exhibit!
