CCC Art
We believe art is similar to story telling:
Matthew 13:
The Disciples came up and asked, "Why do you tell stories?"
He replied, "You've been given insight into God's kingdom. You know how it works. Not everybody has this gift, this insight; it hasn't been given to them. Whenever someone has a ready heart for this, the insights and understandings flow freely. But if there is no readiness, any trace of receptivity soon disappears. That's why I tell stories: to create readiness, to nudge the people toward receptive insight."
We have a couple events we hold, that encourage the process, the sharing, and the creation of art.
ONE:
Sessions De Art:
We hold Communal Art sessions about once a month.
Artists join together, bringing their own supplies and projects that they are working on, and session in community.
TWO:
Art shows:
We hold a communal Art show twice a year.
At these shows, you will be able to view a variety of art, while hearing from the artists first hand.
You will also hear some amazing musicians, while drinking lattes and taking part in this festive event.
With each art show a new charity is chosen, where all the proceeds go to supporting them.
"Whisper" Art Show
Thank you for joining us this semester for our fifth Art Show "Whisper," on November 21, 2009.
This was an amazing evening, and we thank you for being a part of this with us:
To all those showing your work, to those giving donations, to those who helped out, and to those who came out to hang with us!
Together, we helped raise $3200 that will be going directly to The Mustard Seed, to help them continue their ministry in the Inner City.
We will be holding another art show in April or May next semester.
If you are interested, please email us closer to those dates.
We, as well, will keep you posted when we figure out the details.
Cheers, Thanks, and Have a great week!
