Truly an Arts Collective led by the artists, HopeArts works to promote a rich artistic atmosphere and deep artistic experience for the artists within our collective, in our immediate Brentwood/Crestview/Allendale neighborhood(s), and in our wider Austin Arts community.
Open to any medium, genre, arts educational backgrounds, and professional experience, we support artists through a vibrant Arts Program including gallery shows and art openings, performance events, an in-house art magazine, open-use / shared-use and fully stocked arts studio, contemplative Compline-Taizé service.
Welcoming of artists from pre-teen ages to busy parent with no bandwidth, to professional artists with no life-space, and to retirees/seniors deep-diving their passions and interests, our collective embraces an ethos and attitude of supportive communalism in artistic creativity, finding no artistic voice to be without worth or insightfulness.
All Art aims at the highest, deepest, widest breadth of who Humanity is and is meant to be, and all that is good, beautiful, and true in Faith and of Life, and it is only together with other artists (from across the community and differing backgrounds) can an individual artist find the enrichment and support to achieve such a mark, and that is what HopeArts seeks to foster.
That which is of the good, of the true, of the noble, of the right, of the just, of the pure, of the lovely, of the excellent, and of the praise worthy, and all that which is made of kindness, of love, of joy, of peace-seeking and peace-filled, patience, gentleness, self-controlled, and all of that which is made for peace-making, for mercy-giving, for justice-seeking, in meekness-orientation, all of that is the subject and aesthetic for all good Art.
