Epiphany over at Wallspace looks interesting.

For Epiphany we have gathered together 15 contemporary, traditional iconographers who live and work in the UK for what we believe is the first exhibition of its kind. While there have been survey exhibitions of icons from other places in the world, there has never been an opportunity to get the work of the very best iconographers in Britain together in one place.

Not all of these iconographers are UK-born, but they all work here. And while all the icons shown are contemporary, they are nonetheless produced in the traditional manner, using authentic ancient designs and methods. The exhibition is timely, given the current revival of interest in icons and their increasing appearance in cathedrals and parish churches across the country.

I am going to try to get to this discussion led by the Bishop of London:

Forum
Modern Mystery
chaired by the Bishop of London Rt Revd Richard Chartres
6 December 7pm-9.30pm

Why are icons experiencing a revival in the West? Is this influencing British churches’ approach to imagery, devotion and liturgy? How does this distinctive visual tradition relate to contemporary art practice?

Many of the iconographers will be present at this discussion.

two great events worth visiting
