Artists and art appreciators gathered to "Make Sense of Making" in the Makery in a two-day course led by Venn Foundation's Centre for the Arts.

This short course under Venn’s Centre for the Arts is designed to help you explore how the arts fit in with God’s good world. It’s a chance to slow down, engage deeply in some big questions around art and faith, and reflect on how the Christian faith renews and transforms the arts. Open to all—this will be a retreat-like time involving teaching, discussion, and reflection, along with many other fellow creatives.

12-13 September

The Makery, 30 Vanguard Street, Nelson

It’s challenging to be an artist. On the one hand, artists are viewed by wider society as special and valuable, gifted individuals who harness the imagination to powerful effect.
