Visual Arts
At FCUCC, we welcome all who are interested in art in its many forms! The Arts Commission is responsible for incorporating creativity and the visual arts into church life. This includes everything from beautifying the sanctuary for weekly worship to coordinating monthly art gallery exhibits.
The commission meets in the choir room on the third Sunday of each month after worship; you do not have to have formal training in the arts to be a part of this group.
Free Artists Retreat Weekend: March 26-28
Imagine three days with no phones, no computers, no interruptions -- just you, your art supplies, and a spacious place to work. Does that sound like "heaven" or what? Bring whatever you are working on and join other local artists in the Friendship Hall here at FCUCC for this weekend of uninterrupted time. We move in on Friday, March 26, and stay through Sunday, March 28, after church. Bring your own food and all your own supplies; we will provide you with tables, chairs, and access to water. Come and get inspired and get a project done with no interruptions, just encouragement!
To reserve your spot please call Betsy Coogler at 225-5871 or Carol Duin at 254-4068 (after Feb. 28).
FCUCC Art Gallery
Our gallery is a public space that hosts monthly art shows. We host at least two congregational shows per year and invite artists from the community at large to exhibit. We ask that ten percent (10%) of any item sold be donated to the FCUCC Arts Commission to further our ministry. Please contact Gary Mitchell if you are interested in showing your work in the gallery.
