Emanuel Nine Catalog

This is an art catalog for The Emanuel Nine Tribute-A Portrait Project. On June 17, 2015, at Emanuel AME Church, nine lives were taken in an act of hatred. In collaboration with Principle Gallery of Charleston, nine noted artists seek to combat that which is false and cruel with truth, beauty, and unity. Portraits of the lost will be donated to their loved ones at a reception hosted by Principle Gallery on May 29th, honoring the upcoming one-year anniversary of that tragic day. Through this gift, we hope to bring a small measure of comfort to our brothers and sisters who have lost so much. As Frederick Douglass famously wrote, "Truth is of no color, God is Father of us all, and we are all brethren." ~Lauren Tilden Artists: Lauren Tilden, Terry Strickland, Stephanie Deshpande, Ricky Mujica, Catherine Prescott, Greg Mortenson, Judy Takacs, Mario Robinson, Paul McCormack
