Workshop outreaches

Area children ages 6 to 14 and their families are invited to attend a half day free workshop as a part of the quarterly conferences. Talented local and nationally known artists give their time and gifting, in order to share several aspects of the arts with families. Open Heavens Centers donates sketchbooks, pencils, watercolors and a variety of supplies. Drawing on the right side of the brain is taught with exciting completed drawings by both children and adults. Watercolor and colored pencil is also available. Musical instruments, flags and dance are a part of the day of instruction as well.

The feedback from these workshops is amazing. The outreach is to the public, and many are introduced to the Lord. For more information on hosting a workshop in your area, church or business, please contact us. These workshops are available quarterly at our local conferences.
