Emerging Artists Collective A space for 20-something creatives to be involved in the faith/arts conversation and to experience greater spiritual formation.

Located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Emerging Artists Collective has been a gathering space for creatives in their twenties who desire to participate in creative community. Rooted in the Christian story, the Collective exists to further the spiritual and artistic formation of creatives of all kinds. At this time, for a number of reasons, the EMC has gone fallow. However, at the right time, we hope to discern what EMC's path will look like going forward. In the meantime, this page will highlight items of interest and local opportunities relevant to the art/faith conversation. Stay tuned for future developments! The Emerging Artists Collective was created by professors from the University of Northwestern - St. Paul, spearheaded by Judith Hougen, a creative writer and teacher.

Quote of the day from writer Frederick Buechner: If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors. With our imagination as well as our eyes, that is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces but the life behind and within their faces. Here it is love that is the frame we see them in.

Writer Frederick Buechner notes, "Maybe nothing is more important than that we keep track of these stories of who we are because it is precisely through these stories that God makes himself known to each of us. If this is true, it means that to lose track of our stories is to be profoundly impoverished not only humanly but also spiritually." If you desire to meet God in the ground of your own story as well as learn more about writing, have time and inspiration to write, and experience nurture for your creative soul, then consider participating in the Summer Stories Workshop with Judith Hougen. Early bird rate available until June 8. It promises to be a significant weekend! Follow this link for details: http://judithhougen.blogspot.com/p/spiritual-writing-retreat-july-22-24.html

Happy Friday! Take 51 seconds to enjoy a lovely poem, "Boreal (spider)," by Brianna Flavin that she read at our last EAC gathering.

We enjoyed some original poetry from Brianna Flavin and music from Anna and Bret Carey.

We had a great gathering tonight that included a short field trip to the MIA with Luke Aleckson at the helm. Luke's farewell time was the best--grateful for his investment in young creatives' lives.

Quote of the day from visual artist Makoto Fujimura: "When art is simply what we must do to stay true to ourselves, it is a calling."

P.S. Our next emerging artist gathering is Thursday, July 23. Stay tuned for the event page!
