Behold! I Make All Things New! Arts Exhibit
Easter is the gateway to spring, especially this year when it falls on March 31! New life bursts forth all around us, embodying the power of the Resurrection in our world. Immerse yourself in the beauty of this wonderful video exhibit created by Victoria Pepe and featuring her original music and the visual artwork of Diane Aramony, Marie Malluk, Victoria Pepe, Susan Ceely Philips, Joan Silinsh, and Margery Westin. Also featured in the in-person exhibit at Marble is poetry by Carole E. Gregory, Karen Harris, and Susan Ceely Philips. The exhibit will run through April 30.
The Arts Ministry seeks to create an environment that encourages and nurtures artists of all kinds to utilize their gifts.
By consciously and fully involving artists in every area of Marble life, artists are given a platform to share their art and breathe new spirit into the body of the Church, Christ, and the world.
2023-2024 Theme is “All Good Gifts: The Art of Receiving”
The secret to an abundant, prosperous life is balancing our ideas about giving and receiving and how those two concepts work their way through our lives. We'll discover how we may block the good that God wants to bestow on us, what we can do to reverse that trend, and how to use our gifts, talents, and skills to promote our work effectively.
Are you a professional or non-professional performing, fine, or design artist? Now in our 42nd year at Marble, The Arts Ministry is a safe, welcoming, and creative community that provides an inclusive space to gather together to support and recognize one another’s efforts, discuss and resolve issues pertinent to each discipline, be spiritually nurtured, and to create art.
Get Involved
The Fellowship of Professional Artists
This group meets once a month to address the unique needs of professional artists who are typically more entrepreneurial. Networking, branding, financial matters, goal setting, and marketing will be some of the topics discussed, all within a spiritual framework.
All professional artists are welcome. Please RSVP to Mario Sprouse.
The ARTS Peer Support Group
This is a small group (8 - 12 people) who gather twice a month to do more in-depth artistic and spiritual growth in relation to our art.
The Producers Club
This group meets once a month specifically to help members achieve their immediate professional goals. Much like a goal-setting workshop, the Producers Club will have an accountability factor with the aim of reaching specific professional milestones. Only those who are active professional performing, design, and fine artists can take part in this group.
All artists are welcome! Please RSVP to Mario Sprouse.
Arts Ministry Facebook Group
Artists of all kinds are invited to join our Arts Ministry Facebook Group. We have created a closed group that offers a welcoming space to support and recognize one another’s efforts, explore issues pertinent to each discipline, and be spiritually nurtured. To request to join.
The Arts Ministry is an important part of the vibrant life of Marble Collegiate Church. We hope you will join us!
