Art at CCC:
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 sipping beverages and taking part in this festive event.
With each art show a new charity is chosen, where all the proceeds go to supporting them.
