In this fascinating workshop, Christine Selleck, a spiritual artist, and Teacher of Spacial Exhibit Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, leads us in creating our own Spiritual Pocket Altar. A Spiritual Pocket altar, also known as a portable shrine or travel altar, is a miniature altar designed to be carried and used for prayer, meditation, or spiritual practice.
We will use supplied or personal images, including religious medals, charms, or other tokens that hold personal significance. Materials used include quotes, altoid containers, used to create your own personal meditating tool for pocket altars. They provide a space for individuals to connect with their faith or spiritual practices anytime, anywhere. Throughout history they have been used as a personal connection to faith.

ABOUT CHRISTENE:
Christene Selleck first had an awakening in December of 2022. An unexpected ability to view spirits and entities in mirrored reflections and photographs began to appear daily. These visitations were coupled with mediumship abilities that had made appearances throughout her life without explanation.
In time, she discovered ISD. Through classes and research explanations, deeper connections were developed and have led to a better understanding and connection to her own spiritual connections raised to heights that have been life-affirming and changing.
Always eager to share information, images, and artwork. Christene is excited to share her work and gifts. Come see her artwork on display at the ISD Oneonta Gallery, from August 2nd through September 31st. Her artwork in this show is shared through multiple mediums. Photographs of spirit imagery are shown through the ancient practice of scribing and large-scale prints of multiple spiritual iconic imagery and symbols. These are communicated through nontraditional materials and assemblage techniques. Christene works in the field of art and design and is a Professor of Higher Education in NYC. Selleck is the founder of Art on the Street, a revolving collective of artists working in an array of media. Art on the Street was a pioneer in trendy Soho when she began in 1990. Born across the street from Leo Castelli and next to Mary Boone, Art on the Street was conceived as a program to bring fine art into the retail exhibition environment, and in so doing, allow emerging artists to be seen by the masses. Since its inception Art on the Street has now developed exhibition opportunities in multiple environments ranging from galleries, public art forums as well as public large-scale interactive installations. Art on the Street has showcased dozens of painters, sculptors, and illustrators. Selleck continues to coordinate Art on the Street and has recently installed several public large-scale interactive art projects reaching 75,000 viewers at a time.
