The Artist-in-Residence program at Grace Downtown Church was created as an opportunity for our church to:

1. engage the arts

2. experience God’s beauty

3. bridge outside the church

4. support an artist

 The artists of various disciplines are invited either from within or outside of our congregation to serve as the Artist-in-Residence who:

• connects with their own artistic interests and desires to express themselves more fully

• connects with our church community through the arts

• connects with those beyond our church who consider themselves irreligious or who practice other faiths.

The residency includes learning about the city of DC and/or creating and sharing art that would engage DC residents.
