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.
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
