Art Opportunities - Google Doc
Part of the mission of the Indy Vineyard Arts Community (IVAC) is to give away the love and power of God through art in the world. Some ways to do that include:
- growing in the creative skills we use to communicate the truth of God via classes and workshops,
- sharing our artwork in the world through galleries and shows, and
- meeting people through various events.
We've started building a list of specific local art opportunities where Christian artists might do exactly that:
Indianapolis Art Opportunities Google Doc
We suggest checking out the list and asking the Lord if any of these opportunities are for you to try now. You can also share the list with fellow artists you know.
If you have something great to add to the list, please email arts@indyvineyard.org.
