What is the Village Arts group?

We are a gospel-centered group of artists who foster creativity and community by connecting faith and art in a way that challenges, inspires, and draws us into God’s Greater Story. All art forms and skill levels are welcome. We offer:

• Feedback | Meet regularly (monthly) to share work, critique pieces, and encourage each other.

• Accountability | Share specific goals of what you want to accomplish and what obstacles might be in the way.

• Discussion | Look at what it means to be a “Christian” writer/musician/artist and discuss ways we can incorporate faith into various creative outlets.

• Public Outlets | Work together to find or create outlets for creative works so that we can enrich the church and our community through art and storytelling.

When and where do we meet?

What should I expect?
