Where else can you find yourself surrounded deeply in all of the Arts – visual, performing, music and many other creative endeavors?
Join us May 15-18, 2017 as we explore the many facets of creative expression in the Big Apple, focusing particularly on ways in which the Arts can be integrated into faith communities.
Bring your curiosity (and your walking shoes) for some of the following experiences:

Jay Lynn
Learn By Going is Jay’s brainchild, born out of the philosophy that immersive learning opportunities should occur over an entire lifetime. Why should awesome life changing experiences be limited to college internships and alternative Spring breaks?
Mark Wingfield
Mark Wingfield has a passion for using the arts to learn about faith. As a pastor, he coordinates an ongoing series of visual arts exhibitions and frequently incorporates the visual and performing arts in his teaching and writing. In collaboration with Jay Lynn, he has conceived this conference as a means to help pastors and lay leaders see whispers of spiritual inspiration and beauty in architecture, sculpture, painting, landscaping, painting and sacred remembrance. Mark recently gave a TED Talk in Charlottesville, Va., and is a regular columnist for Baptist News Global.
