After hearing from arts leaders across the country that accessible training and networking opportunities for artists and leaders in their community were needed, we launched two regional training and networking events - The Green Room and The Leaders Table.
In '07 - 08 we had 3 events in Montclair, New Jersey; Redmond, Washington; and Costa Mesa, California. In all three events people told us they felt the training they received was valuable to them personally and significant to their ministry.
In '08 and '09 we will be launching events in 5 different sites. Our first will be in Orlando, Florida on September 5 & 6. On October 3 there will be a Leaders Table in Summit, NJ. In South Barrington, Illinois there will be a Leaders Table & a Drama Leaders Table on October 24. Saturday, November 1, we will be in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania for a Green Room. And then we will begin ‘09 in La Mesa, California for a Leaders Table and a Green Room on January 16 and 17.
The Green Room is a one day event designed to invest in artists serving in the local church. The day includes worship, inspirational and practical teaching from Nancy Beach and an opportunity to meet other artists from the churches in the area.
The Leaders Table is created solely for the point leader of the creative arts worship ministry in the local church. The day is designed for leaders to sit down in a safe and collaborative environment with Nancy Beach and other leaders in the church arts community to discuss how to best lead and navigate through the unique challenges they face. In addition, this is a great opportunity to connect and build relationship with leaders in the surrounding community.
