Do you find meaning in creating art but wonder how it connects to your life with God?
Would you like to experience a deeper freedom and nurture in your creative life?
If so, this retreat might be a helpful space for you.
The retreat will be a blend of talks, discussion time, group spiritual practices, and personal reflection. Retreat topics include the following:
Understanding love as the animating source of our identity as well the foundation and substance of our life as artists and people of faith.
Identifying cultural paradigms that diminish our creative lives, creating shame and “shoulds.”
Cultivating countercultural paths and practices to encourage spiritual and artistic flourishing.
This retreat is led and facilitated by Judith Hougen. Judith is a creative writer and former writing professor whose publications include The Second Thing I Remember (poetry) and Transformed into Fire: Discovering your True Identity as God’s Beloved (Christian living). She enjoys leading retreats and workshops on spiritual formation, the craft of writing, and the integration of faith, art, and culture. Judy has been the instructor for a number of writing workshops with Art House North and has been involved with AHN events, such as The Artist Respond Series, etc. for many years.

In partnership, Art House Dallas and Art House North present Songwriters Feedback. This songwriters gathering is for all levels of songwriters wanting to polish their craft.
FEEDBACK [feed-bak] – noun: a reaction or response to a particular process or activity.
Anyone who has explored the creative process understands the value of feedback. Exposing our “works in progress” to the critique of our peers certainly takes courage, but feedback can also take our creative endeavors from average to excellent. Art House Dallas wants to provide an encouraging environment within a small group setting to explore your strengths and potential areas of growth as an artist. Groups will be limited to 5 songwriters and Art House will provide facilitators who have exhibited a track record of success in their art form.
Our featured artist for this Feedback is singer/songwriter David Tribble.
All Songwriters must have video and audio capability to join this workshop. Song lyrics from all attendees are required beforehand. Songwriters will be selected to join groups based on the total number of registrants and experience.
Visual Artists meet on the third Monday of each month to work on current projects or create new ones! Coffee and snacks provided.

Bucket Brigade presents:
Survivors of the Fire: Stories and Songs remembering the Great Hinckley Fire of 1894
A moving, meaningful, and at times surprisingly joyful new theatrical experience commemorating the 130th Anniversary of the Great Hinckley Fire: featuring traditional music of the era, harrowing first-hand accounts of the survivors, and poignant tributes to those who perished. It’s a celebration of life— its joys and sorrows— and a heartening reminder that those we hold dear are never lost.
Written by Hinckley native, Jeremiah Gamble, directed by Jeff Miller, and featuring a talented cast of Minnesota musicians and storytellers, this piece retells some of the Great Hinckley Fire stories that are traditionally in the foreground, while also highlighting some of the less-emphasized narratives— particularly that of a young Ojibwe heroine named Makedegwon and the courageous actions of the Black Porter, John Wesley Blair.
September 20th-October 12th
Tiered Ticket Prices: $25 (discount price), $35 (standard price), $50 (additional support). Only $20 for opening weekend.
