Join us for our FREE virtual ARTIST ROUNDTABLE, where artists, writers, educators, musicians, and creators of all kinds can connect, share, and support one another. This month, we’re excited to welcome Garreth Blackwell, PhD, for a guided discussion on “Growing Up in the Work: Excellence, Endurance, and the Creative Life.

Date & Time: Saturday, February 28th, from 1-2 PM EST

In this engaging session, Dr. Blackwell will reflect on what it means to grow as a creative person, transitioning from youthful energy and ambition to endurance, wisdom, and faithful excellence. Drawing from decades of experience in design, teaching, and Christian formation, he invites participants into an honest conversation about:

  • Burnout and isolation

  • Craft and creativity

  • The long-term journey of a creative life under Christ

Rather than offering quick answers or formulas for success, this roundtable will explore how artists and makers can mature in their work, stay rooted in their local church, and cultivate sustainable practices that nurture creativity throughout their lives.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue and connect with fellow creatives! We will conclude with a live Q&A session.
