Greenfield Hill Church, Fairfield CT hosted a public showing of Charles Miller's Stations of the Cross in their sanctuary during the Easter Holy Week. The exhibit was mounted Monday after Palm Sunday and remained until Holy Saturday. The church was left open the full week for public viewing and contemplation and the suite was woven prominently into services on both Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Two links to Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services below feature clergy sermons on the Stations of the Cross with mention of the work of Charles Miller

June 2020 at the height of the great COVID 19 pandemic Gallery One and Gallery Two at the New England Visionary Artists Museum mounted an exhibit of the Stations of the Cross (SOTC), oil on canvas, 72" x 50", by Charles Miller. Miller painted this monumental suite beginning in 1977 and completing in 1982 while living in Northampton MA. 

The setting for the Biblical sacred story of Christ's trail to the Cross for this telling is set in contemporary Boston. Note the chrome-helmeted centurions, the Plexiglass cross, the contemporary dress of the pedestrians except in case of the Biblical characters of the story, the media that cover the story with TV cameras, the construction workers drill Christ to the cross, the sepulcher as an ambulance that carries the body away to the morgue. Note the shooting meteor in the last painting that anticipates Christ rising from death.


This suite of fragile paintings is in repository at the New England Visionary Artists Museum presently and it is the goal of the gallery to find a permanent home for this opus by the purchase and donation to a public institution with greater resources than our own. Serious patrons can please contact our office.

Below see the 360 walkthrough April 2020 NEVAmuseum installation including a view of Gallery One and Gallery Two exhibit of the STOC, and Gallery Three that held collected works from the House, a virtual gallery presentation of each work from the grouping. The tour proceeds to our museum wing to show the sculptures of David Barten. The group of eight sculptures are a donation from the Barten estate to the Anchor House of Artists.
