 Gallery keeps religion in Bloomfield - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
At its acme, the Bloomfield Sacred Arts Festival, which was co-founded seven years ago by the Rev. Richard Infante and artist Phillip DeLucia, had become a monthlong celebration of art, music and poetry devoted to "the sacred," in which several businesses along Liberty Avenue in Bloomfield got involved with every July.
Gone now is the gallery at the center of it all, Bloomfield Artworks, which hosted the juried visual arts component, and one of the festival's co-founders, DeLucia, who died in March 2001.
But the annual event lives on at Boxheart Expressions, a gallery where Bloomfield Artworks once was, in the form of "The Sacred Art Exhibition." And even though the annual event has been pared down to being primarily an art exhibition, it still has a lot of soul.
