This is Heartspace’s third exhibition after the inaugural success of Journey into Life in 2008 and Drawn by Grace (2009). Over the years, the Lord has blessed this art therapy ministry with people who have come to Heartspace and stayed to serve by sharing their gifts, talents and most of all, their genuine selves with those who use Heartspace as their sanctuary.
⋯⋯During a team discernment retreat last year, what emerged as we prayed about our mission were the desires for healing and restoration; to find God in the vulnerable places of our humanity and to return to Joy, Wonder & Beauty. Many of us have experienced restoration in our journeys and have witnessed this in the journeys of others through creating and sharing at Heartspace.
There will be 150 paintings exhibited at this exhibition. Sales from the artworks go towards the church's maintenance fund.
“To stir up awe at and desire for the beautiful, form the sensitivity of souls and nourish the passion for all that which is an authentic expression of the human genius and a reflection of divine beauty.”
