Faith and the Arts Summer School 2012
The Faith and the Arts Summer School is a practical week-long residential program that offers the chance to focus on a variety of creative arts.
It also explores the artist’s relationship with God, themselves, and others through teaching, worship and sharing in the unique and picturesque setting of the Poatina Christian community in Tasmania’s heartland.
The Summer School is suitable for any adult or mature teenager who is wanting to explore their creativity in the context of their relationship with God and others, with a view to ultimately becoming more equipped to serve God through their artistic expression. Committed Christians as well as those exploring the Christian faith are welcome, and whilst artistic experience is helpful, it is not required for most electives.
Participants choose just one elective to focus on for the week.
