Art House North- 

In January of 2011, Sara and Troy Groves walked into this 100 year old church in St. Paul with imaginations on fire. The thought of creatives coming together for rich hospitality, conversations of consequence, and imaginative creativity was not a new concept to them. The Art House in Nashville had long been a balm to their souls as they navigated the world as artists, and it has been a long-held dream to provide a similar space in the Twin Cities.

The heart of Art House is to provide "resources that communicate the worth and necessity of all vocations with access to speakers, teachers, and guest artists. All Art House programs promote community, life, and world engagement, helping people become more and more interested in the same things that Jesus is interested in."

Music, photography, visual arts, storytelling - all creative endeavors - can be powerful tools for inspiration, growth and change in individuals and communities. "Give me the songs of a nation, I care not who writes its laws" said Damon of Athens. Conversation and collaboration are all a part of a healthy art ecosystem, and to that end, the Groves moved their family into the city and opened the doors to Art House North.

Won't you join us?

Grace and Peace,

Sara and Troy Groves
