Christ Episcopal Church
La Crosse, Wisconsin
Undercroft Gallery
The Undercroft Gallery celebrates visual art dedicated to the glory of God, in thanksgiving for His gift of the creative spirit.
Christ Church exhibitions are intended to enrich the community, and to provoke dialogue about the function of art in cultural, religious and daily life. Displays throughout the year range from the work of professional artists to shared items brought in by church members.
The Undercroft Gallery is below the main church in the Augustine Fellowship Center. You can visit after the 8 or 10:30 a.m. service or during the noon lunch on Thursdays. Use the 9th Street entrance and take the stairs or elevator down to the Undercroft.
​
Exhibitions are planned and installed by a committee of parish volunteers. We’d love to hear your suggestions for shows. Artists from the parish and the region are welcome to submit work for consideration. To see our guidelines, click on this document:

The Hmong Identity Project
This project connected Hmong students in La Crosse middle schools to their heritage and culture. It focused on helping them to discover their individuality through visual art while providing an opportunity to showcase their skills and talent.
Because of the pandemic, the project was never exhibited. These students are now seniors in high school. We welcome the students and their work with great enthusiasm.​
​
Please joing us for a closing reception honoring the students on Sunday, September 22 and 11:30 am.

The Hmong Identity Project was made possible by a grant from the La Crosse Public Education Foundation. NaoHoua Tony Yang, Cultural & Family Connections Coordinator, faciliated the project. Amoreena Rathke, art teacher at Longfellow Middle School, facilitated the exhibition.
