Winter, spring, summer, and fall shape the pattern of human life, reminding us that we, like all living things, are subject to and dependent upon the changing seasons of the Earth. In a time of climate change and increasing environmental uncertainty, these seasonal shifts also invite deeper attention to adaptation, stewardship, and our spiritual relationship with creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ogsc=\"black\">Through natural materials and expressive imagery, Autry and Florence each explore the cyclical and unpredictable moods of the planet. Autry works with wood, stone, and metal to create sculptural pieces that feel grounded, elemental, and monumental. Florence\u2019s watercolors capture the color, atmosphere, and quiet beauty of changing landscapes and seasonal moments. Together, their work reflects not only the physical world around us, but also the spiritual journeys that shape how we see, honor, and respond to creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ogsc=\"black\">This exhibition coincides with the religious observance of the Season of Creation, a time set aside for prayer, reflection, and renewed care for our common home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fechas de la exposici\u00f3n:<\/span><\/b><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">August 13 \u2013 October 1, 2026<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">Galer\u00eda Mary Anderson en el Monte San Francisco<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">101 St Anthony Dr, Mt St Francis, IN 47146<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Horario de la galer\u00eda:<\/span><\/b><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"none\">Domingos: 11:00 a. m. a 2:00 p. m.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"none\">Martes: 11:00 a. m. a 2:00 p. m.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"none\">Jueves: 16:00 \u2013 19:00 horas<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"none\">Viernes: 11:00 a. m. a 2:00 p. m.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Recepci\u00f3n de apertura:<br \/>\n<\/b>August 13 | 6:30 pm<\/p>\n<p><b>Charla del artista:<\/b><br \/>\nSeptember 17 | 6:30 pm<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-4 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_03f3d98b has_text_color\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fechas de la exposici\u00f3n:<\/span><\/b><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">August 13 \u2013 October 1, 2026<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">Galer\u00eda Mary Anderson en el Monte San Francisco<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">101 St Anthony Dr, Mt St Francis, IN 47146<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Horario de la galer\u00eda:<\/span><\/b><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"none\">Domingos: 11:00 a. m. a 2:00 p. m.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"none\">Martes: 11:00 a. m. a 2:00 p. m.<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"none\">Jueves: 16:00 \u2013 19:00 horas<\/span><br \/>\n<span data-contrast=\"none\">Viernes: 11:00 a. m. a 2:00 p. m.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Recepci\u00f3n de apertura:<br \/>\n<\/b>August 13 | 6:30 pm<\/p>\n<p><b>Charla del artista:<\/b><br \/>\nSeptember 17 | 6:30 pm<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":24764,"menu_order":0,"template":"","event_category":[96,89],"class_list":["post-24755","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_category-featured-franciscan-art-event","event_category-franciscan-arts-initiative"],"aioseo_notices":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-26 12:46:00","action":"category","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"event_category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franciscansusa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/24755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franciscansusa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franciscansusa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franciscansusa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franciscansusa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franciscansusa.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=24755"}],"curies":[{"name":"gracias","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
