A Feast of Creativity
Join us Thursday, November 3rd, through Saturday, November 5th, for an arts festival celebrating the theme of Labor & Rest. Come soak in the beauty of the Lord as it is displayed through the arts, in exhibitions of paintings, poetry, photography, metalworking, textiles, music performances, and more. Come see live demonstrations of wood sculpting, blacksmithing, weaving, painting, and the list goes on!
Nourishment for the Body & Soul
We are excited to welcome David Hegeman, author of Plowing in Hope, to the podium as he delivers lectures on Christian Art. Eat, drink, and be merry with us as we punctuate our days with delicious food. We hope that here at this festival, you will find refreshment for your souls and a deeper connection to the character of God.
Lectures on the
Theology of Culture
David Hegeman resides in Newberg, Oregon, with his wife Marjorie. They have four adult children. He studied art history at the University of Pittsburgh and Oberlin College. He works as a librarian and enjoys painting and visiting art museums whenever he can.
