Here is a brief report that I promised after last week's event in Branson, MO.
There is something powerful about believers gathering together to share Christ. Life flows. Nuts and bolts of various disciplines were taught and discussed.
There were 60 participants, undoubtedly a modest beginning, but one that somehow seemed complete. Faculty and participants came from California, Washington, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Branson, Kansas, Missouri and Texas. Students attended workshops and panels in water color, polymer clay, voice, drama, mime, street acts, faith in media and entertainment, song writing, writing and production amongst others.
So for all those who were there, I was blessed by your presence and contribution. For those who missed out, there will probably be a next time that you might want to participate in.
There is a exciting event for Christian high school and college youth who are interested in the arts. It is The Master Class 2010 - a week long event in Branson, Missouri.
If you are a young person interested in the arts, whether it is visual or performance art, this event is for you.
You will have a unique opportunity to be inspired by the testimonies and artistic journeys of other Christians in the arts. Classes will be taught in a variety of disciplines from fine art to dance, theater and music. Registration is still open.
