Presented by Benedictine Women of Madison

Madre Tierra Art Exhibit Reception

Registration ends Thursday, 05/28/2026 11:59pm CDT

About This Event

In Holy Wisdom’s newest exhibit, Madre Tierra, artist Issis Macias invites viewers into an intimate, contemplative encounter with the natural world. Rooted in Macias’s cultural lineage – and in the Indigenous and Latin American understanding of Madre Tierra as a living presence and source of ancestral wisdom – the Spanish title affirms a matrilineal thread and an inheritance of strength, intuition and reverence for the land. Please join us for the opening reception of this exhibit of abstract art which echoes the shifting rhythms of sea, sky and earth through layers of pigments, sweeping gestures and spontaneous pastel markings.

Event Schedule

  • 6:00 pm – Reception opens
  • 6:30 pm – Issis will talk about her work and answer questions
  • 8:00 pm – Reception ends

Light refreshments will be provided by the artists.

The exhibit is on display in the Monastery Gathering Area from May 6 – July 7, 2026. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Friday, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm (excluding holidays) and Sunday 10:00 – 11:00 am.

Registration

Please register by May 28, 2026, in order to have enough refreshments.
