The Light Studio provides high quality visual art classes to youth, ages 8 and older, and adults in a Christian context. It will also house a gallery for professionals and students to display their works (opening in spring 2012) and offers individuals a unique opportunity to create art and seek Christ at the same time. Classes are available to members of North Heights and of the Twin Cities community of all levels of artistic abilities.

The Light Studio is committed to creating a climate for growth and discovery, exploring the Christian Faith in many creative ways. If we are truly created to be reflections of God, then we are all created to be creative. We express this God-given creativity in wildly diverse ways and The Light Studio celebrates and fosters the gifts God has given to those desiring to worship him through the visual arts.

Artist Instructors, highly skilled in their medium, are from all over the Twin Cities and bring a wealth of knowledge, care, and skill to each biblically congruent course. These classes taught in 2-hour sessions for 8-week segments, are offered in the artistic disciplines of sculpture, printmaking, drawing, painting, textiles, photography, and others. All classes are for ages 12 and older, with one class per quarter offered in mixed media for ages 8 and above. Additional retreats, artist talks, and workshops are held throughout the year where more intentional fellowship, discussion, inspiration, and encouragement can occur, helping visual artists feel valued and connected.

As The Light Studio continues to grow and expand, we are always looking for individuals who want to help. Whether that is teaching, helping set up the gallery, donating fine art supplies, or praying, we would love to see where God can use your gifts in this ministry! Or maybe you just have a great idea for a class? Let us know!
