"SAINT JOHN'S BIBLE," an international traveling exhibition featuring Donald Jackson's "Creation" (above) and other illuminated works created over the past 15 years is the Talk of Week. The crowd-pleasing traveling show & lecture by project director Tim Ternes at the College of Mount Saint Joseph in Cincinnati was a major success, and A&O was there with live tweeting by @AlphaOmegaArts.
