Our Current Exhibition:

For over a decade, Jordan Eagles has garnered public and critical attention for his unique, signature use of animal blood in his works. Through an experimental, self-invented process, the artist combines blood with Plexiglas, UV resin, copper, gauze, and other media to produce arresting works that both fascinate and challenge audiences.

Join us on January 20, 2013, for a free public reception with the artist from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.. The exhibition continues through May 12, 2013. Learn more at MOCRA's website

About me:

Saint Louis University’s Museum of Contemporary Religious Art (MOCRA) is the world’s first museum of interfaith contemporary art. Officially opened in 1993, MOCRA is dedicated to the ongoing dialogue between contemporary artists and the world’s faith traditions. Located in a spacious chapel that was used for over 35 years by Jesuits studying philosophy at Saint Louis University, MOCRA offers a unique setting for the display of its permanent collection and changing exhibitions. MOCRA’s exhibitions have demonstrated the range of contemporary religious artistic expression, presenting the work of artists of local, regional, and national stature. In a time when religion is a predominant topic in societies throughout the world—often generating more heat than light—MOCRA continues to foster dialogue that seeks deeper understanding of others’ traditions and greater appreciation of one’s own.
