The Graceful Artist

A little over a year ago I took an online drawing class with a fabulous instructor named Elizabeth Johnson.  Elizabeth, along with a group of like-minded friends has started a wonderful new site called "The Graceful Artist".  This is their mission statement:

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

THE GRACEFUL ARTIST IS AN INTERACTIVE ONLINE COMMUNITY MADE UP OF CREATIVELY MINDED MEMBERS. WE ARE OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH BELIEVING THAT OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN CHANGED BY THE REDEMPTIVE GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST. WE BELIEVE THAT GRACE IS OFFERED TO ALL AND PRAY THAT OUR EXPERIENCE HERE WILL LEAD TO SHARING THIS GOOD NEWS WITH OTHERS. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CREATIVITY IS ENRICHED BY OUR FAITH AND THAT OUR FAITH IS DEEPENED WITH CREATIVITY. IT IS IN THAT SPIRIT THAT WE JOIN TOGETHER TO LEARN FROM AND WITH OTHERS IN THIS COMMUNITY.

There are many different workshops that are going to be offered, in many art forms, by different instructors, but they are all going to have a Christian focus that will help to enrich the creativity they spark.  Currently they are offering a $50 gift certificate to Jerry's Art-o- Rama, one of their sponsors.  This would come in quite handy for purchasing supplies for any of the available workshops, or just for a great shopping spree for supplies for the new year.  For all the details, please go to http://gracefulartist.com/happy-new-year-prize/.
