​Get Notified About Our Art Events

Picture
⭐⭐⭐
​The first event of the year starts Monday, January 1st. You have the perfect opportunity to “Start the Year Off Right” with Genesis 1-1 Fine Art and Daniel Brymer’s Worship Watch & Wait band.

⭐⭐⭐
Every night next week there will be live music worship, dance worship, flag worship and you can be part of the art worship. Invite family, friends, neighbors, co-worker; everyone, to be in space for meditation, prayer and worship and gain Godly insight for 2023. Monday - Friday from 7-8:30pm the public is invited to join us in worship.

​ 🖌️If you are interested in doing art, this is how it will look:


➡️ We arrive at 5:30pm to set up. The band begins a full rehearsal at 6pm sharp and then goes right into a full concert from 7-8:30pm. That gives us 2 ½ hours of live worship music to paint to every night of the week!

➡️ Once you set up on Monday, you can leave everything where it’s at until Friday night. You can work on one piece the entire week or as many as you want.

➡️ Bring your own supplies and a drop cloth if you need one. If you don’t have a cloth then let us know and we can help source one out.

➡️ The room will be set as a circle and artists will be placed around the band, or not. Doing art next to the band is considered prime real estate so let us know right away to reserve one of these limited spots.

➡️ Please begin praying now about the piece of art you will be creating at the beginning of 2023. The idea behind this “Start the Year Off Right” event is to have a week of vertical worship so we can spend 2023 doing God’s Will and not our own. There is no criteria for your artwork during this week. Merely do what God would have you do.

➡️ Artwork created during “Start the Year Off Right” will be hung in the Grace Point Gallery Cafe located inside Grace Point Baptist Church, where the event is. 

⭐⭐⭐
We will set the room up for the event this week and Daniel Brymer will lead a special worship service for Grace Point this Sunday, Jan 1st. Join the church service at 10:30am, Sunday, and get a prelude to worship and the layout.


Grace Point Baptist Church is located at 10415 Chestnut Drive Kansas City, MO 64137

​Event Calendar


Past Events!

This may very well be your first Christmas party of the Season and will likely be the most relaxing.

*Join together with the Christian Art Community and experience the warmth of Christmas with food, fellowship and art. We will have chili with the fixins and more. You can also bring something to share if you would like to!
 
*Bring any art project you would like to work on. Bring your own materials. I do have some extra paints etc... if you need them. (donations are welcome)

Artists must be 12 years old or older for the Open Studio as we want to provide an environment for even mothers or fathers to be able to get away, hear from the Lord and work on art.
 
We are really looking forward to this time to kick off the Christmas Season in a peaceful, relaxing environment! Be sure to put this on your calendar and let’s enjoy the goodness of the Lord together!

 If you've ever been to one of our big gallery events, then you know Genesis 1-1 Fine Art can throw a party.
Our jazzy friends are back with Jazz for Good to ensure a good movement in the atmosphere.  
Homer's Coffee House has some of the best coffee you can find, and it's conveniently located in downtown Overland Park, KS at 80th & Metcalf.  Homer's is more than coffee, but a wonderful selection of hot chocolates, sandwiches and season soup of the day.  This area just adds to the charm and beauty of this collective of artists.
Three Genesis 1-1 Fine Art team members will be sharing about their collaborative art show called
"Days of Creation".  This show is based on the 6 days that God created the heavens and the earth and everything in it.  A must see and a must hear event. Great opportunity to invite friends, family and neighbors out for a wonderful evening and meet the artists in person.

​Currently Darrell's artwork is exhibited at the Grace Point Gallery Cafe in South Kansas City. You don't want to miss this intriguing exhibit. You will be truly inspired as Darrell takes us on a journey through his process of imagination.


​There will be:

  - Refreshments Provided
  - Time for Q&A
  - Plenty of room to spread out
Kirksville, Missouri based artist, Darrell Williams, has been honing his airbrush painting skills since 2015. His fascination with airbrush artwork began in his youth after seeing a caravan of custom painted vans in the mid 1970’s. He actively began pursuing the technique while completing his BFA (2016) degree at Truman State University. He continued this while obtaining his MFA (2019) from the University of Missouri Columbia.
 
Darrell has always been interested in fantasy and space themed genres along with a life-long interest in vehicles. His works reflect this with the chosen subject matter. His use of the airbrush and graphite serve to render work that is highly detailed. He considers himself a realistic illusionist and works to make every piece as realistic and believable as possible.

Grace Point Gallery Cafe

Currently Carol's artwork is exhibited at the Grace Point Gallery Cafe in South Kansas City.
It is a beautiful exhibit and it was great to hear the incredible ways God brings joy through her creativity! We had a very uplifting and encouraging time!


Carol grew up in Kansas with a love for children and their stories. She graduated with a BA degree in Special Education. She taught for six years in Denver, Colorado in both private and public education.
While her husband, Rhett, pastored churches in both Colorado and Kansas, she homeschooled their two children from elementary through high school.
 In 2004 Carol and her husband moved to China for one year where they taught English to university students at SIAS International University in Xing Zheng City.
 In 2007 she began to dabble and play with paint. She found it gave her such joy that she continues with it today.

Artist Talk and Reception with Gary Wilcutt

Picture
⭐ Gary is presently the curator/administrator for The Welcome Gallery at Northland Cathedral in Kansas City, Missouri where they are creating an environment for artists to blossom.

"My personal focus recently is on making the invisible visible in terms of bringing clarity to spiritual concepts while making them visually pleasing as well as thought provoking. Art is becoming more of an adventure for me and I am learning to use all three aspects of myself; spirit, soul and body in the making of creations that are often ending up so much more than I imagined at their beginnings. Part of the adventure is in learning to embrace using uncontrollable techniques and happy accidents."

Artist Talk and Reception

Friday, August 16th at 7pm - 2019
Grace Point Gallery Cafe 
​

Monica Womack and Jeanie E. Hines both shared stories of how God influenced them to create beautiful art work.
It was an inspirational evening hearing about their creative process! 
Picture
​JEANIE E. HINES
 A local Kansas City resident. The complexity and beauty of life and landscape inspires her. Whether it’s a gorgeous sunset, or merely the flash of bird wings in flight, she brushes on watercolors or blends and mixes. She especially enjoys the problem solving angle of painting and often works on her paintings in a section by section method. Watching them “become” balanced in composition, pleasant in contrasts of color by using a variety of application techniques is rewarding and rejuvenating. When a person viewing her work shares that it has connected by stirring a memory or an emotion, she feels the work has accomplished its purpose.
Picture
​MONICA WOMACK
 Born in El Paso, TX but raised in Chihuahua, Mexico until she married and moved back to the U.S.A. At the age of 50 she encountered God and her life was changed. Now, Monica volunteers for a halfway house and is on an art team that functions inside of a 24/7 prayer room. Inspired by the bible, meditation and prayer takes her to a place where she becomes one with God. Monica says, “My artwork is like a door that I can open to a place where I meet and know the Master of Creation.”
