4-Door Arts Forum

On Saturday, July 12th, eight artists gathered in Duval, SK for a 4-Door Arts Forum in which artists of all kinds gathered purposefully and spontaneously worshipped together through their various media.

The 4 doors represent "text, voice, music and visual art". The plan was to work along side each other in a neutral setting, experiencing and revealing the sounds and colours of heaven.

The key organizers of this forum were Steve and Leanne Epp, artists-in-residence at Lighthouse for All Nations Church in Regina. Together with their daughter Shea and friend Beryl, they form Kabod Artistry in Motion.

Artists at this event included Steve & Leanne Epp, Shea-Marie, Beryl Fournier, Margie McConnell, Myrna Peterson, and hosts Colleen Taylor and Jeffrey Taylor.

Everyone came on Friday to see and pray over the spaces. Beryl and Marie stayed overnight while the rest returned to Regina. On Saturday the old school where Jeffrey and I live was the central meeting-place and we borrowed the former United Church from Karen Gwillim for the Saturday forum. The church is across the back yard from the school ... which is a good thing, since it doesn't have plumbing!
