Spirit in the Arts
 
 
Genuine spirituality, like art, is open and dynamic...
both are the hope of a world so badly in need of transformation.

Spirit in the Arts is our primary neighborhood mission where access to free and low-cost creative experiences draw people from all walks of life.  We provide a safe, welcoming place for individuals to express themselves through creativity and community without fear of censure as well as a gallery to display works of local artists.

Our open art studio is available 24 hours each week providing space, companionship and materials at no cost.  We also offer fee-based classes by teaching artists. See current calendar for Bread of Life workshops. To register for classes or workshops click here

Everyone is creative in their own unique way, no matter their skill or ability. We believe that heartfelt creative expression is a wonderful way to access spiritual connections, learn about ourselves, build bridges through community and make strides in healing life's wounds.

All are welcome: those from specific religious traditions and those who question anything spiritual; those who are familiar with artistic techniques and those who have never before accessed their creativity; those who long to explore their inner territory and those who simply want to relax.

Visit our art rooms, upstairs and down. Sit and converse with people you might not otherwise meet. Hold silence in the quiet art room if you need time away. Play with art materials that may challenge you or delight you.  Allow yourself the time and space to consciously explore your inner spirit, in whatever form that may take. When people are engaged in self-expression in a community setting something happens that is greater than the individuals themselves.

Our doors are open. Come join us!

Spirit in the Arts is funded in part by the Cultural Arts Award and Microgrant Program of the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission with support from the City and County of Sacramento.

 
This mural began in our summer art camp for youth under the supervision of artist Dena McKitrick.  Involving many hands over 9 months, it hangs by our main entrance.
