BJU To Again Feature Living Gallery

Bob Jones University in Greenville will soon feature its Living Gallery to usher in the Easter season. 

Now in its 16th year of telling the gospel story through living displays of art, the Living Gallery at Bob Jones University has become an Upstate Easter tradition for many.

Programs will be from March 28 to 30 at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. with an additional program March 30 at 2 p.m.

The display features life-sized recreations of artistic masterpieces using human models.  

This year’s Living Gallery features an all-new original drama “The Shadow of the Cross.”

It tells the story of those connected closest with Jesus Christ.

“The Living Gallery focuses on what the characters in the art would say if they could speak. The characters include the kneeling centurion from Rembrandt's The Three Crosses, Mary the mother of Christ from Michelangelo's Pieta, and Judas Iscariot from DaVinci's Last Supper," Director Paul Radford said, "The drama is set during the dark window of time between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, when all were unaware that Christ’s triumph over death was just moments away."

Tickets are $11 for adults and $9 for children ages 6-12. Tickets may be purchased at the BJU Programs and Production box office from noon to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday. They may also be purchased online through www.livinggallery.bju.edu or by calling (864) 770-1372 during business hours.

The Museum and Gallery at Bob Jones University is open for extended hours, 2-7 p.m., on Living Gallery performance days. Tickets to the Living Gallery provide free admission to both M&G sites at Bob Jones University and at Heritage Green on March 28-31.
