Imagine '24 was a huuuuge win! From the amazing time together on Friday eve for the Gallery Launch, to the truly engaging opportunities to discover new mediums of expression during our Saturday Sessions, and on to the wonderfully expressive time spent together on Sunday morning... so much to be thankful for. Giant thanks to each of the presenters, each of the instructors, and to each one of you who came out in support of these wonderful arts & artists.

Imagine ‘24 Weekend is coming! This year we’re offering a live Gallery Kickoff event on Friday February 23rd @ 7pm, a series of learning opportunities we’re calling “Saturday Sessions” on the afternoon of the 24th, and a chance to worship God together in an arts-infused way during MW’s Sunday morning service on the 25th. For all the details (including registration for Saturday Sessions), please check out http://mw.church/imagine. Oh, and SPREAD THE WORD! Click “like”, click “share”, and pass it on to anyone you know who might be interested.

Hey there Imaginers, we are t-minus TWO WEEKS from submission deadline for Imagine '24! What y'all workin' on? Drop a comment, peut-etre? 👇

"What Would Jesus ______?" The question / theme behind Imagine '24, this year's arts fest @ MW Church

In this article about the potential creative threats of AI-generated art, this quote from a cookbook author stood out:

“Technique must be acquired, and, with technique, a love for the very processes of cooking. No artist can work simply for results; he must also like the work of getting them.”

How AI Short-Circuits Art When we cut out creative processes, we diminish what gives art its true value.

Big love at One8tea for nabbing a CGMA this past weekend (and bonus shout out to Connor Zacharias for his work on Joshua Leventhal's album, which was also a winner)!

IMAGINE '24 = February 23rd-25th

Mark your calendars now!

Artists, be ruminating and scheming. This year's theme:

"What Would Jesus ____?"
..draw..say..sing..write..reward..paint..applaud..dance..decry..produce..do

While not endorsing all of the content on this podcast series, this episode in particular seems interesting & enlightening, especially to those of you who are tactile artists. What is your own experience of “flow”?
