Art talks and meetings

On Sunday I will be hosting a meeting of Arts+UK at St John's Seven Kings. Beat Rink, who heads up Arts+Switzerland will be guest speaker and will share how Arts+Switzerland has been established, giving insights and ideas for Arts+UK. Beat also heads up Crescendo International, an organisation for Christian musicians aiming at a professional career in the arts.

On Wednesday the Friends of Valence House will be visiting St John's to see our artworks including work by Louis B. Davis, Derek Hunt, Viki Isherwood-Metzler and Sergiy Shkanov as well as stained glass from the Kempe and Whitefriars Studios. The group are in the process of visiting each of the churches on the Art Trail for the Barking Episcopal Area.

This Art Trail was created for the Barking Episcopal Area by commission4mission and on Thursday 8th May I will be speaking about the work of commission4mission at the Spring Gathering of the Arts Centre Group, 7 – 9.30pm, Café Eterno, 34 Neal Street , Covent Garden. commission4mission encourages churches to commission contemporary art while the Arts Centre Group brings together Christians who are working professionally in the field of the arts.
