INSPIRED: A Community Arts Festival
WHY CREATE AN ARTS FESTIVAL?
At Area 10 Faith Community, we believe that we are created in the image of a creative God and that one of the ways we can glorify Him is through using our God-given creativity and talents to make the world a better place.
That is why we are hosting a weekend-long arts festival for our Richmond community from Friday, April 10th through Sunday, April 12th!
Throughout the weekend, there will be LIVE mural painting, free food, interactive activities for kids and adults, and free and low-cost workshops to practice new creative skills. Check out the full schedule below:
