This week's featured artist is Edmund Mundwiller!

Artwork pictured (from left to right): War God's Idol, Nature's Inquiry, Aspiration)

Artist Bio: "A native of rural Hermann, Missouri, Edmund “Ed” Mundwiller was baptized at St. Joseph’s on Little Berger, like all seven of his siblings. He grew up near St. George Parish and School, where the Franciscan priests, sisters, and parish community nurtured his early faith, his priestly calling, and his compassion for those on the margins of society.

Ed attended boarding school for one year at the former Augustinian Academy in St. Louis—just two blocks from where he would later serve as a friar of the Franciscan community at St. Anthony of Padua Friary in South St. Louis. He completed three years at Hermann High School, where he first discovered his love for creating artwork.

Now back home in Hermann and surrounded by family and friends, Ed continues to share his gifts through storytelling and art. His creative work remains deeply rooted in his faith and reflects a lifelong commitment to social justice, compassion, and community."

Free and open to the public, Voices of Change runs until December 30. All artwork is available for purchase.

Pictured Artwork: Build Your Data Center

Artist Statement: "As generative A.I. grows larger I can’t help but feel a sense of dread. At first it was an interesting tool, but now it has become something that we should fear. Not only does it steal and manipulate pre-existing artworks and writings to generate its own slop, but its way of doing it is extremely harmful to the world around us. Data centers are being built all around us for the sole purpose to further the growth of A.I. and make the rich richer. The development of these data centers are the leading cause of the environmental issues in local communities. These issues include: contaminating the drinking water, killing wild animals, and destroying their homes. In my artwork I convey my hatred and overall disgust in not just data centers, but generative A.I. as a whole."

Free and open to the public, Voices of Change runs until December 30. All artwork is available for purchase.
