Dear Friends,
We are very happy to announce the online arrival of the ART HOUSE AMERICA Blog. Our editor, Jenni Simmons has created a beautiful online space, what she calls “a virtual Art House” — not just visually, but also in the people and topics our blog will cover.
Our Art House friend Rebecca Saylor hopes the blog will — “Mentor and feed those of us who are near in heart and calling, but far away in our places, with our people, living our own unique and beautiful stories.”
This is our hope too!
Our first issue features:
* Creating Shelter – Another in a faithful line of best thoughts and writing regarding the power of God, people, and place — by Andi Ashworth
* A revealing and insightful interview with Sandra McCracken and Derek Webb, centered around Sandra’s newest recording, Feast or Fallow — written by Jenni Simmons
* A short profile on the photographer Jeremy Cowart and his life-giving photos from Haiti following the earthquake of 2010.
* Creative Community for the Common Good — A look at the AHA mission and the new work being done in Dallas, TX.
We plan to publish twice a month on thursdays. The next fresh batch of articles will appear August 5th.
Respectfully, Charlie Peacock Art House America _________________________________________________
