Our faithful SEEDS Board consisting of Julie, Shelia, David, Cindi and Denise attend our weekly meetings at Cindi’s home starting with devotions and prayer and moving on to the weekly new business items.
After 18 amazing artist’s exhibits at our SEEDS Gallery within Full Circle Meaningful Marketplace, we turned over the keys to our collaborative gallery space in July. The dream began as our latest calling is to create video interviews of our artists for … SEEDS STUDIO CHATS!!! (click here to view)
Awesome to continue exhibiting Moses Ball, with fellow master art teacher Carolyn Jenkins and her daughter Taryn Jenkins. This was our first mother/daughter exhibit in the SEEDS Full Circle Gallery. They all graced the gallery from Nov 2022-Feb 1 2023! (Moses Ball click)
Each exhibition showcased a series of artworks chosen by the artist as we selected 15-25 artworks to fill the gallery walls. (Full Circle)
Hard to say goodbye each time the art leaves our gallery walls. So thankful for every artist as they spent endless hours preparing their artworks to exhibit, packing, delivering and writing labels to share God’s love to the public.
Imagine our gallery filled with Moses’ paintings?
Just after being commissioned as the 2023 Super Bowl muralist, Moses’ dynamic portraits of musicians graced our walls. What an extreme privilege to house his works in our gallery for our community!
Thanks to our faithful donors Jeanette & Greg who gave BB King a new home. Thank you Moses! Seeds is greatly blessed!
