Arts@Emmanuel
We are called to know and express the Divine through Sacred Arts (chant, ritual, dance, poetry, visual arts, music). We believe that art can help heal the soul. Come join in the experience!
​
Promoting the Creative Spirit through the Visual Arts.
We provide a venue for Emmanuel and community artists to exhibit the talents and gifts that they have received from God. We always hope to inspire—and sometimes challenge—those who view the artwork exhibited.
​
The members of Arts@Emmanuel meet monthly to explore ideas, and plan exhibits and workshops. We invite everyone—children, youth, and adults—regardless of artistic experience to participate in the Creative Spirit.
​
Emmanuel also has a Dance Studio with bars and full-length mirrors. If you're interested in renting the space for practice or a class, call Emmanuel at 815-963-4815.
