Art event at St. Nicholas Church:
A chalk drawing in honor of the Assumption of Mary
On August 8th and 10th, our St. Nicholas Church in Wil will become the venue for a special artistic event. Italian Madonnari artists Claudio Pirisi and Raphaella Mezzaluna will create a large-format chalk drawing in front of the altar, dedicated to the Assumption of Mary.
Inspired by Psalm 18:30 – „With my God, I can leap over walls“ – the artwork explores the freedom of faith. The community is warmly invited to watch the artists at work and to experience the creation process of this ephemeral art piece.
On Sunday, August 10th, the finished image will be presented during the service, and its significance within the spiritual context will be explained.
This event is part of the StreetArt-Swiss Festival 2025 and combines traditional street painting with contemporary spiritual art. We look forward to your participation and to sharing this special occasion together.
