I just learned of new resource for artists in all art forms. It’s called The Grove Center for the Arts & Media. Located in beautiful San Clemente, CA, midway between Los Angeles and San Diego, this non-profit ministry seeks to help artists transform our culture.

Currently utilizing other retreat facilities, the organization owns a 12-acre avocado grove in north San Diego that will be the future site of a national retreat center for the arts and media. But they’re not waiting to build to take action. They offer several tools right now.

You can attend 1-day leadership retreats, become a member of the Grove Membership program, or form a local chapter of the Creative Edge Artist Network. Online tools are provided and monthly conference calls offer support as you develop an arts’ ministry in your church or hometown.

Though they are seeking ministry partners to help support their cause, the Grove Center also offers several downloadable short films and media. A portion of the proceeds will go to artist grants and scholarships through the Grove Foundation. I found I identify with “Easter, Then What?” and enjoy the humor of “Elevator Music.”

Check out this resource. The Grove has something to offer both artists and those who support them.
