ArtSpace grew from a dream to share creativity as a spiritual experience. As a community of faith in this place, we have an opportunity to share glimpses of the Creator with one another and the larger community; an opportunity to be involved in creating and experiencing the Spirit’s movement through image and form; an opportunity to be a welcoming space.

We will use the language of visual arts to meet, enrich, and find common interests with one another and with our neighbors.

Through ArtSpace, we hope to:

Lift up the Creative in various art media by providing exhibit space, especially as we encourage emerging artists.
Invite the participation of the neighborhood, that they know LNPC to a place of welcome, nurture and celebration.
Honor God by promoting peace, justice, and wholeness.

The vision statement for ArtSpace, including oversight and processes, is available here.
