ArtsWatch: "The Artist's Dance"

What did you read this summer? I’ve had the chance to energize my creative juices by reading a few books which focused on the intersection of arts, faith and culture—some of which I mentioned in past weeks.
 
Another thought-generating and spirit-energizing book is Creative Matters, a collection of essays by members of the Creative Collective—which you can find out more about at www.creativecollective.is.

At the beginning of July I had the chance to interview Carolyn Wilker about her new book Once Upon a Sandbox. The cover for that book was created by this broadcast's guest: Kitchener artist Deborah Pryce, who has worked with watercolours, and acrylics and has even painted sets for theatres.

ArtsWatch: "Pursuing Christ, Creating Art" a must read book

If you’re looking for the next “how-to” book on doing art as a Christian, don’t read Pursuing Christ, Creating Art by Gary Molander
 
If you’re looking for a book that will challenge who you are as an artist and what you should be to create the best art you can, then devour Pursing Christ, Creating Art.

The Just Food exhibit is on loan from the Mennonite Committee on Human Rights. This broadcast's guest is Ray Dirks, curator of the Mennonite Heritage Centre Gallery in Winnipeg.
