I’m guessing you already know that through books and music, the Vineyard has been a significant leader in the Christian world. But did you know that we also have been able to influence the secular world as well? Bands like Mumford and Sons, Lifehouse, Switchfoot, and Ryanhood, and writers like Trish Ryan and Tri Robinson, have all hailed from Vineyard churches. The art that God has inspired us to make has been able to shape and sometimes change the lives of people on both the inside and outside of churches.

We want to encourage you to join in this rich legacy by providing you opportunities to showcase your art and connect with other artists. Throughout the weekend we will have tables for you to display what you have created and discussion groups focused on various art forms. Late Friday night we will also be doing an open mic/talent show where you can perform for a mix crowd of churched and unchurched folks. We hope that through these activities we will inspire and maybe even find ways to collaborate with each other. So bring along your poems, photos, paintings, songs, vids, animation, one act plays and that funky clay ashtray/birdfeeder and let’s see what comes of it!
