• Hope Revealed: A celebration of the life and art of Aimee West Cardoso '13
• September 13th- October 18th
• The Galleries at Messiah are honored to exhibit the work of alumna, Aimee West Cardoso '13, a beloved alumna who was tragically taken from us just last year.  Aimee was a gifted artist, loyal friend, and most of all a devoted follower of Christ.  Her life has left a bright hope in our hearts, knowing that she now basks in the glory of her Savior.  Even as we mourn her physical absence, we are joyful to celebrate the gift of her life, and the artwork she left us with.  Her final series of paintings helps us ponder anew the glory of our crucified and risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
