Harvard Art Show Urges Faith and Compassion

HARVARD CRIMSON
By Erica Eisen

MASSACHUSETTS---An art show featuring pieces from around the world on faith and compassion attracted a diverse group of students, community members, and artists alike for a preview this Friday. The popularity of the opening of the show, “Compassion: The Good Samaritan,” was due in part to how relevant the artwork is to a general audience, said Olivia J. Krusel ’15, a member of Harvard College Faith and Action, the organization responsible for organizing the exhibition. In line with the theme of the exhibition, most of the proceeds from the art sales go to a charity called Compassion International, according to curator Roni Pavick. Pavick hoped that the show would create a “visual voice” and spark dialogs about the meaning of compassion and how to act upon it. [link]
