Decorative Painting Grace Church Van Vorst: The ReCreation

Meet artist Donald Gallagher, and enjoy art that is not hung on the walls, but walls that are art. The Grace Van Vorst Church sanctuary will be open and guests will be free to peruse the decorative arches, the clear story windows, the dado and ground floor windows brought back to life with Donald's paint brushes. Using the architect Detlef Lienau's drawings of 1853, Donald began his work on this joyful restoration on March 31, 1987. Experience this masterpiece decades in the making. 

Tour is approximately 1 hour in length, and space is limited.
