A new exhibition is now on view in the Barrington Gallery at Gordon College! 🎉
"Making the Kingdom Visible" by Bryn Gillette '01 invites viewers into a world beyond what can be seen with human eyes. Describing his calling as an artist as a way of “making the Kingdom visible,” Gillette seeks to help others envision the unseen realities of the Spirit through his work.

The paintings featured represent a cross-section of Gillette’s work since graduating from Gordon in 2001. Reflecting on the exhibition, he writes: “I am bringing back the harvest, metaphorically and literally, after 25 years of my broken and beautiful attempts at plowing, sowing, tending, and harvesting in the field of my artistic assignments.”

We invite you to experience "Making the Kingdom Visible" and celebrate this exhibition with us!

🌟 Sue Wanjau '27 had an all-star summer! ⚾

As an MLB All-Star Experience Team Member at the Capital One All-Star Village, Sue helped create unforgettable fan experiences by supporting interactive activations like the Rookie League, assisting guests, and keeping event operations running smoothly.

Through the experience, she saw firsthand what it takes to bring a large-scale sporting event to life while building skills in fan engagement, event operations, customer service, and managing a high volume of guests.

As a Communication Arts major with a Marketing minor, the experience reaffirmed Sue's passion for sports marketing.

"It showed me how storytelling at live experiences can create meaningful connections with fans. It gave me a clearer picture of the kind of work I want to pursue in the sports industry and the pathway to get there."

We're excited to see where your passion takes you next, Sue! 👏
