Father Eric Hollas, WPS Trustee, was an early pro- moter of The Saint John’ Bible project. He is now involved with arranging national and international exhibitions.
A Bible For the New Millennium
St. John’s Bible Project combines Benedictine art and spirituality. See the story, pages 6-7.
Portions of the original, illuminated manuscript are already on tour—and this “ancient” art is drawing unex- pected crowds. Some 55,000 ticketed visitors—about 25,000 more than projected— flocked to the Minneapolis Institute of Art showing, which ran for three months and closed on July 3.
Shows are currently scheduled at the Library of Con- gress in Washington, D.C., the Phoenix Art Museum, and the Naples, Florida Art Museum. Other venues are under discussion. Smaller shows are set for the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Austrian National Library in Vienna.
A schedule of exhibitions and photos of the beautiful calligraphy and illuminations are at www.saintjohnsbible.com.
