ART STUDIO & EXHIBITS

Thomas the Apostle Center has had the dream of bringing the arts and creativity to the heart of its visitors since before the center even existed. There is one large art studio on property that hosts monthly events for the community and rental programs.

The art exhibits in each conference space allows for local artists to display their work. The exhibition wall in the Sunrise house, alongside the art studio, is a rotating space to display different artist’s works. The Gallery Room in the Trailside House is a display of Daphne Grime's sculptures, icons and paintings. The center's collection of icons can be found in the chapel.

The property art studio offers an adjacent bathroom connected to the rental. The lawn and patio space outside its floor-to-ceiling window view lends itself to creative musings as well. Art classes, workshops and forums love gathering in the various spaces depending on the weather and season.

 

To create a private event in the space, it is $150 for a full-day and $75 for a half day. There is a $100 additional fee if the space is not returned in its original condition.
