Creative community For the Common Good

 

ENCOURAGING & EQUIPPING EVERYONE TO LIVE IMAGINATIVE & GENERATIVE LIVES

Following in the footsteps of Art House America, Art House North works to cultivate creativity for the common good. This work is done through our concerts, curated events, artist response evenings, theatrical productions, community partnerships, and artist care in order to bring together the community & inspire everyone to live more imaginative, generative lives. Through nurturing a creative community of people who learn, grow, and create together, we believe good things result -- good things meant for all.

 
 
TONIGHT is our Artists Respond: Immigration night! 6pm at @arthousenorth.

Our monthly Art House Study will be happening a week from today! June 20th, 6:30-8:30pm. A reminder of what these studies are about: our goal is that you will enter a space where you can be honest, wherever you are on the spectrum of belief, and that you will find a community that embraces you and your creative mind. A space where the Spirit drives instead of an agenda. More info/to RSVP: arthousenorth.com/events #linkinbio

We are one week away from our Artists Respond: Immigration event! Cara will lead us in a night learning about immigration, and designing a pillow to represent the 34,000 people who are detained every night (mandated by the Immigration & Customs Enforcement). Bring clothing you want to donate and create your pillow with. We are so excited about this one!! Link is in our bio to RSVP. arthousenorth.com/events June 17, 6pm
Last year at our Songwriter Retreat & Workshop, @jenmillermusicco attended, took what she learned with her craft, and is now releasing an album on June 21st!! We are thrilled to see our anthem working in real life- “creative community for the common good.” 🌟 From Jen’s vision behind the record: “We pray God uses this album to shine His light in postpartum depression and anxiety all through our community, and in your hearts too.” Go Jen!!! Follow along on her musical journey here: @jenmillermusicco
Please join us on Tuesday, June 18th from 6-9pm to take part in the 34,000 Pillows Project led by our friend and artist @carameganlewis! Bring clothing to donate/design your pillow with! Space will be limited, so sign up 🔜 arthousenorth.com/events 〰️ Participants will be invited to design a pillow to contribute to the ever-growing pile that comprises the artwork 34,000 Pillows. 〰️ In 2009, to demonstrate its priority to enforce immigration law, the US Congress mandated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) maintain a quota of 34,000 detained immigrants per day in its 250 facilities around the country. The mandate also known as “the bed quota” inspired Díaz Lewis’ participatory artwork where pillows created from clothing donated by undocumented immigrants, prior detainees, and their allies form a collective patchwork of individual experiences. 〰️ Each pillow is priced and sold at $159 to reflect the average amount of taxpayer money spent each day by Congress to detain one person. 100% of the proceeds for this project support the efforts of national and local immigration organizations whose efforts are dedicated to revealing the injustices of the detention centers and to restoring human dignity to those formerly detained. 〰️ The workshop is an important facet of the project and participants learn about the issue while designing a pillow which is later sewn together by Díaz Lewis. The workshop is free and open to anyone who would like to participate. 〰️ Artists Respond is an Art House North series that looks at different cultural issues through the lens of the arts and culture care. 〰️
ARTISTS RESPOND: IMMIGRATION Art House North and Cara Megan Lewis of the artist collaborative Díaz Lewis will host a workshop on Tuesday, June 18! Everyone is invited to design a pillow, to contribute to the ever-growing pile that comprises the artwork 34,000 Pillows. ☁️ The “34,000 Pillows Project” began in 2009, when the Detention Bed Mandate required ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to occupy an average of 34,000 beds every night across 250 detention facilities nationwide. So, Cara is sewing a pillow for every bed occupied at US detention facilities. It's an incredible work. ☁️ Come be a part of the community! The night is free. Join us at 6pm, ready to learn, with clothing to donate for your pillow design. ☁️ Click the link in our bio for more info and to RSVP. See you on June 18th!
Our friends at Made to Flourish are back at Art House, hosting an encouraging event May 21 @ 7pm- featuring author Dr. Michael Wittmer. The night discusses the question: If following Jesus involves a life of sacrifice and suffering, is it wrong for a Christian to seek purpose and joy in this world? Join in on the conversation, May 21! Link in bio to RSVP🌎
