Artist Quarters
We believe that beauty, art and creativity should be valued, used, and understood as coming from or being connected to the Creator.

That art is expressed in many forms, from original music to visual arts displayed in our Art Lounge to poetry, prose and stories members from our community have written.

 

 

Monday Night Art Gatherings:

We meet every Monday at 7pm in our Blaisdell Location. We meet for about two hours and everyone is welcome. Each night is a mixture of discussion, creation, and dreaming. We talk about current and future art events and projects. Some people bring their own things to work on, and some come for conversation.

 

Galleries:

We see art as inseparable from our space. It can be found in stairwells, closets, and couch cushions. Also, we have three hallways and a family room that are used for intentional gallery space. If you are interested in displaying in these spaces you can talk to Luke.

The Bell Tower Art Studio:

Dingy, unfinished wood floors, exposed concrete block walls, crumbling plaster ceiling and a single light bulb together make up a room that would not be useful for much, yet it has become a wonderful space for the creation of our visual art.  

Here we value collaboration and believe the communion of artists in this room to be one of the ways we live out the dreams of God.   The room is to be used by anyone wanting to participate and all are welcome to walk in and check it out. Contact Luke if you would like to participate.

 

Intersections:

Intersecions are seasonal, collaborative art events that allow us to live inside the Biblical narrative as we are led by our artists. Our next event will be for Pentecost on Sunday, June 4th. You can talk to Javier or Luke if you have questions or are interested in helping create this event.

 

Artisan Co-op:

Solomon's Porch is full of talented and resourceful people.   We are imaginative and diligent, and we want to pursue goodness and beauty in the world.    Another one of our desires is to be a sustainable community.   Many of us are self-employed or work for businesses that we really care about, and many of us want to support our local economy.

This space is meant to facilitate connections for these people. Here there are goods for sale, things to trade, and advertisements for services.   Everything is one of our own creations or initiatives.   Consider co-operating with us!   Purchase from one of our artisans or be an artisan yourself. Contact Luke with any questions.
