The Vocation of the Artist
Book and Discussion group in the Gallery at Convergence
Have you completed the 12 weeks of the Artist's Way but still wish you had the community? Still need a check in for those pages? This is a book discussion group for those who would like to continue the practices of the Artist's Way in a supportive group. We will have a brief check-in time at the beginning of each session and then move into a topical discussion. Is the artist called to their work and if so, what implications and resources are needed to fulfill that calling?
About the Book: The Vocation of the Artist examines the historical role of the artist and presents a particular perspective, grounded in the author's experience as a practicing artist and scholar, on the contemporary function of the artist as prophetic critic and visionary. Deborah Haynes draws attention to the need for artists to assess critically the relationship of the past and present to the future. Bringing together a wide range of historical and theoretical sources in cultural history, art history, theory and religion, this book is addressed to those interested in the complex interdisciplinary dialogue of the visual arts, religion, and ethics.
Cost: $50 for 12 sessions (includes the book)

Time: 12:15 - 1:30 pm

The Artist’s Way was written by Julia Cameron as an outgrowth of her journey as artist and person of faith. Our Artist Way collectives are part support group for artists, part unblocking creative sources, part exploration of the links between faith and creative work. The Artist’s Way is designed to help people “unblock” their creativity by listening to God, the Great Creator, themselves, and allowing room for healing the things that stand in our way.
