About the exhibit
This exhibit features work of twelve artists of various disciplines who come from the Creative Community, a group that meets twice monthly at Christ Community’s Downtown campus. In our fall 2021 session, we spent time together discussing themes of “becoming” in our faith, in our community, and in our work. Please join us for exhibit open hours or February’s First Friday artist reception to experience the work of these artists through writing and essays, poetry, sculpture, film, collage, painting, design, fiber, and paper craft.
What is Creative Community?
Though individual art-making is often a solitary practice, artists have a unique opportunity to grow and flourish when they form communities where they can support and challenge one another. Creative Community was born when a group of fourteen artists and creatives in Kansas City committed to sitting across the table from one another twice per month at Christ Community’s Downtown Campus to share a meal, their work, and to have discussions in response to the work of other artists. We began meeting in September 2021.
