Art Designed to Celebrate Religions in Conversation Conference
Kristin Oegema of the Scripps College Press has designed 8 religious broadsides to celebrate the 2010 conference. Each broadside consists of a poem from one of the eight religious traditions on the School of Religion’s council. They are hand-printed and numbered in a limited edition of 100 copies. The broadsides can be individually purchased, or they may be purchased as a collection. The cost is $10 a broadside, or $70 for a collection of all eight.
Sets of these broadsides have already been acquired by Special Collections in the Honnold Library, the Scripps Gallery, and private collectors. We suggest you reserve your copies now, by paying in advance to pick them up the day of the conference.
