The Arts Ministry of South Shores is a community of Christian creatives (artists, designers, dancers, photographers, culinary artists, florists, poets, filmmakers, theater artists, musicians, writers, woodworkers, etc.,) who desire to use their varied gifts and talents for God’s glory and the edification of the church. We seek to reflect the beauty and light of Christ through the exploration of creative expression and the development of artistic interests.

Our activities may include book studies, regular gatherings, art workshops, special events, exhibits, curated museum outings, art history presentations, concerts, theatrical performances, community outreach, and much more. There is no required artistic skill level to join the Arts Ministry, but an appreciation for beauty and a longing to honor and reflect our Creator with our gifts, talents, and resources is foundational in all we seek to accomplish.
We will meet monthly, often on the first Thursday, from 6:30-8:00 pm, downstairs in the Multi Purpose Room, but due to the variety of projects, workshops, and outings we may undertake, our gatherings may be on different days or different places. Therefore, please review our website page prior to the first Thursday of each month to discover the details of that month's (what, when and where) artistic adventure. Please let us know if you plan to join us as we may need to make arrangements for supplies, refreshments or workshop fees, etc., depending on the nature of our monthly endeavor/s.

In addition, we may schedule art-related outings, service opportunities, meet-ups and collaborative projects, throughout the year. Details for these gatherings will be emailed to all those registered online in the Arts Ministry.
 
Let’s create something beautiful…together!
