A 3-DaY Event to Connect, Create, and re-imagine
You’re Invited to the 2nd Annual RISE Creative Gathering! This isn’t just a gathering—it’s a holy, creative uprising. This year, we dig deep into the Gardens of Scripture and the sacred metaphor of growth—because Jesus didn’t just talk about dirt, He revealed the mysteries of the Kingdom through it.
RISE is a bold invitation to new and emerging artists ready to create with God, encounter His presence, and rediscover the power of beauty, faith, and art.
Expect:
— Hands-on art workshops
— Prophetic art + creative worship
— Interactive collaborations + art tables
— Power-packed teachings from artists across the nation
— A Spirit-filled, radically inclusive artist community
You don’t need to be “religious.” You don’t even need to feel “ready.” If you long to create, to connect, to be seen—this space is for you. Sign up at GodLovesArt.com
Come as you are. Let God grow something wild and beautiful in you.
RISE.
Wear comfy art clothes. Feel free to bring your favorite small art supplies and a sketchbook or journal.
Optional: Bring your own art to display at our “Walk-In” exhibit Friday to Saturday (must measure under 14 inches at the longest dimension).
Everyone is welcome, regardless of artistic experience or whether you attend any church. RISE studies the teachings and person of Jesus Christ, who values and embraces people no matter where they are in their journey.
