Artists and art exhibits at East Liberty Presbyterian Church

East Liberty Presbyterian Church has a long tradition of artistic expression being a central part of our worship experience. Our Sanctuary and Chapel are blessed with extensive stained glass panels from several important artists, depicting Old Testament and New Testament stories in ways that engage us in dynamic, sensory interpretations of sacred passages, stories and personages from the Bible, and more.

While we are blessed to have many artists in our congregation whose works we have exhibited, we also are fortunate to have other artists’ exhibits in our space:

  • Our current exhibit is He Qi: View the web page for details, including titles of works on exhibit, schedule for the artist’s talks, images of Qi’s work, and more.

  • “Islamic Art,” led by Farooq Hussani from the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh

    • On May 14, Mr. Farooq Hussani from the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh presented an introduction to the symbolism and meaning of Islamic art. Since Islamic art is non-representational, in other words, it does not depict God or prophets in its artworks, this was an interesting opportunity for discussion.

  • “Art In Our Lives,” Photography by Bill Wade

    • On January 18, ELPC member and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette staff photographer Bill Wade shared and discussed share some of his photography. His exhibit, “Art In Our Lives,” was being exhibited at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.
