Join me and other creative folks for ART CHURCH!
What is Art Church?  It's casual, chill time with other creatives and makers of all sorts.  We gather, we celebrate creativity and we create together.

Is Art Church a religious thing?  Nope.  It's time for us to intentionally create in community.  It's time where we collectively say "Creating is important! Community is important!" (Maybe even sacred.)  As Julia Cameron (author of "The Artist's Way") says, "The act of making art is both scary and healing. Art brings light to places that have remained dark.  Art brings perspective. Making art, at any level, is an act of courage and an expression of faith."
What do people work on? All. The. Things!!!  Some folks work in art journals, junk journals and gluebooks.  Some people bring fiber arts - sewing, knitting, crocheting.  Some folks write or carve stamps, or do bookbinding. Really, any creative project is welcome!  We've even had someone make soup one time.  

What else goes on at Art Church?  Sometimes I read poetry, sometimes I pull cards for us.  I often have fun questions for us to chat a little (What TV show would YOU want to be on?) and get to know each other.  We talk about what we are working on, sometimes we share artsy tips or do a little show & tell.  Some folks chat lots and some just come and quietly work with the company of other creatives.  It's up to you how much or little you participate!

A few more important details:  We meet on Sundays, typically once a month.  Dates/times vary and schedule will be posted and emailed.  We usually hang out for about 2 hours (but you can come at any point and leave whenever you need/want to).  It's FREE.  We gather on Zoom.

How do you get in on this FUN??   You'll frequently the info and registration posted in my community group on Facebook, and shared to Instagram.  I also send out email reminders.  If you'd like to be on the Art Church email list, fill out this form.

I hope to see you at the next Art Church! 
Come create in community!!
