From those grainy days in January, when conception was just beginning, to the incredible journeys of those who participated in those meetings, to the painting, and sculpting of magnificent works of Art, it has come down to less than 24 hours.
The first Xavier Alumni Art Exhibit, with the blessing of one of Xavier's enduring icons, Fr. Ismael Zuloaga, S.J., is about to set sail.
It does so with lofty goals, and inspired work, both from the heart, and from above to achieve what had a been a pipe dream for many a Xavierian's closet dream: unleashing the inner artist in himself. Will the Ismael Zuloaga Centre for the Arts in Xavier ever become reality? That is the task ahead, and with a mural commissioned by Fr. Zuloaga himself, what better way to usher in this Art tradition in Xavier than this?
The performing Arts is one gigantic broad umbrella - for it is not visual arts alone that comprises the vision of its' founders: Music, Film, Writing, Culinary, and much much more. But the spark has been made, and the powder keg of untapped Artistic talent so inherent in XAG's enthusiastic members is about to be unleashed.
For Xavier and XAG, it is time to let your light shine!
