An exhibition curated by StillPoint, a project which seeks to nurture and encourage spiritual practice.
Project partners Ian Adams and Matt Rees draw from the wisdom and practice of the contemplative and mystical streams
of the ancient Christian tradition, and from similar streams in other spiritualities and faith traditions.

StillPoint has curated two well-received art exhibitions in 2009 and 2010 at the Jam Factory Gallery in Oxford.

For the Bless_ed exhibition StillPoint is inviting 20 south-west based artists to each create a new piece of art
in engagement with one of the enigmatic sayings of Jesus.
The Beatitudes, the collection of wise and disturbing sayings in the so-called ‘sermon on the mount’,
such as ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit...', rarely invite easy answers,
but question, provoke and inspire in an exciting art event.
