Art Studio & Gallery
For more than twelve years, the Arts Program at Heartside Ministry has existed as a safe and catalyzing environment for the expression of the emotions, ideas, creativity and spirituality of Heartside neighbors.
The program space exists as both a studio and a gallery; the large storefront windows, high ceilings and supportive atmosphere makes for a setting that is especially conducive to artistic endeavor.
Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. (with an hour break at 12:00 P.M. for lunch) the space is open to the public for creating, learning, socialization, perusing and commerce.
The gallery is also open for special neighborhood and city functions (e.g. the monthly arts walk). Under the guidance of Ruth Swier (the arts coordinator) these, often self-taught, artists have produced a prolific and moving body of work, spanning various mediums, styles and subject matters. Ruth works to encourage the intuitive and spontaneous artistic tendencies within each individual artist. You are encouraged to visit the studio and gallery space—whether to create, make friends or pick up a one of a kind gift for yourself or a loved one.
