Visual Arts
Art and Christianity have been intertwined for centuries
Psalm 150:1 Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary, praise Him in His mighty heavens...
Permanent Collection
St. Luke's is fortunate to have an extensive permanent collection of art in a variety of forms to inspire and enrich the lives of all who enter our church. Oils, watercolors, stitchery, engravings, sculpture, prints, photographs and multi-media works are all a part of our vast collection, given by many generations of generous members and friends.
The most prominent piece in our collection is the Charles Umlauf sculpture in our Westheimer Campus courtyard, 'Teach All Nations' (pictured), which was commissioned and dedicated in 1966. St. Luke's is priviliged to own three other Umlauf sculptures, in addition to this one.
We in the Fine Arts Ministry encourage you to look at and appreciate the beautiful art on display throughout our church campuses. To read about featured pieces from our collection, click on the links below.

Rotunda Art Gallery
The Rotunda Art Gallery, on our Westheimer Campus, has been in existence since the early 1980's. The Gallery is used to display various exhibits of art on a rotating, monthly basis. Many local artists, as well as artists from around the state, have exhibited and sold their works in our Gallery. A portion of all proceeds go to benefit the Visual Arts Fund at our church, which helps maintain our permanent collection and acquire new pieces. Thank you for supporting our Gallery!
