We are local visual and performing artists with a passion for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the Arts.
This small group will be producing two variety show productions and a craft fair for the public.
We invite all dancers, musicians, singers, comedians, songwriters, jewelry makers, painters, videographers, and YOU to join us.

What is the age group?
All ages and skill sets are welcome. However, an adult or guardian is required to stay if your sprouting artist is less than 8 years old. We have beginner-to-seasoned artists.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Our ministry wants to support your art and invest in YOU!
Is dinner provided?
There is a break from 6-6:30pm where dinner or a snack is provided. You may bring your own meal. Some weeks you may be asked to bring your own food.

What are the art classes?
Artists have access to an array of professional hand tools, machines, and software. Bring your own art to work on, work on sets for the show, or learn new forms of art at your own pace. At the end of the classes, you have the option to sell or display your art at the summer craft fairs.

You do! The ministry goal is to help artists share or sell their work. Any donated art sales go back into purchasing art supplies and hiring teachers.
