Unlike God, humans can't create something "out of the darkness." Though we are made in His image, God's artists, teachers, and technicians must allow Him to fill our souls and sharpen our skills to continue creating with excellence. The Green Room experience is designed to bring an infusion of training and inspiration – to better use your creative gifts for His purposes all year long.

Willow Arts has partnered with the Church Communication Network (CCN) to deliver this one-day, affordable, satellite-only training experience on February 19, 2010. This is a unique event created for artists, arts leaders and teachers serving in the local church. The content is meant to inspire and challenge people to grow as Christ followers and artists. The day is designed for teams to experience together. Learn more at artsgreenroom.com and mark your calendars for our next call, November 18 with Ross Parsley, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, CO.

But before that, let me share my journey of discovery in this area of leading creative teams.
