ArtRageous! A Celebration of Creativity, June 15–19, 2025
We believe in a creative God, that we are made in God’s image and we share in God’s creative work. ArtRageous! is a celebration of this creativity. Classes in cooking, music, sewing, growing, and so much more will be part of the line up. Some of the classes offered will be “stand-alone,” while others will be sequential, over 2 or 3 days, building on your skills each day. We are building our lineup for the 2025 Artrageous. Contact Heather Ferguson if you would like to teach a class or have an idea for a class or tour. The sky is the limit, so be creative! This summer art program is open to children, youth, and adults. On-line registration will begin soon here.
