Throughout the month of September, 2023 the Artists' Cooperative Gallery in Westerly, Rhode Island will have a new exhibition called "PEACE". The exhibit includes "For His Greater Glory" a space dedicated to Sacred Art, provided by artists who teach at The Sacred Art Institute on Enders Island.

Bring your lawn chairs and blankets to Enders Island on June 11, as this normally quiet island comes to life with the music of pipers and drummers performing in the gardens, surrounded by ocean views. A Tattoo is a traditional gathering of Scottish pipes and drums. Our own St. Edmund’s Pipes and Drums will perform, using traditional Scottish Highland bagpipes and through the power and beauty of their music, provide an opportunity for people to share in an expression of joy. This annual event is for families and friends to gather together, relax and experience the music and culture of the Celts. Proceeds from tickets will support Enders Island’s ministries of spiritual renewal, recovery and sacred arts. Check back for more information and to purchase your tickets.
