welcome to the new blog for the artist circle! here's the most recent updates on artist circle happenings. thanks for an amazing first meeting and conversation! a few thoughts:
1. please try to spend some time creating in the next few weeks! create spaces for your own artistic expression, or make spaces for a group art activity: jam sessions, painting spaces, writers circles... i believe that we can do it all! let's gather together in our art! don't be afraid to take some leadership in setting anything up (especially if you have the gift of hospitality or administration and like doing this kind of thing).
2. we talked at the last meeting about the idea of a Cafe Night, and we're going to go ahead and start planning that. we're talking with church leadership and we'll have more details soon, but be thinking about who you can invite and how you can contribute-- and how we all can work together to create/host a space for art and expression to happen freely and safely. this also can serve as something to work toward, a space to share what we are now creating with the wider church community.
3. please send me (juliet) some contact information! Name, Email, phone, artistic disciplines of choice, anything else that might be relevant. i'll assemble this info into a contact sheet so we can all stay in touch.
4. encourage each other and ask for help. i challenge each of you to meet up with one other person on this list to specifically talk about art, before we meet together again as a large group. extra points if it's a person you don't know as well. =) get each other's thoughts and advice, share work and ideas, create together. be intentional about community.
5. keep inviting. =)
as always, if you have more ideas or thoughts or anything, don't hesitate to email me.
much love,
=) juliet (& marilyn & tina)
