Over the September 17–18 weekend, some of Columbia’s Interdisciplinary Arts MFA students created a state of grace on earth… well, actually, on the near north side of Chicago.

Their exhibition theme, “Sacred & Profane” explored how alternative perspectives 
and different points of view become platforms from which we render judgment, 
assign value, and dispense forgiveness.
