Spirituality in the Arts

Spirituality in the Arts is a series of performances and exhibitions that began in 2004. Featuring both amateur and professional artists, musicians, and performers -- some from Nativity, some from outside -- we seek to glorify God and to entertain by offering arts events that communicate God's love for us and our love for God and one another.

The general public is invited. There is no charge, except where art consumables are needed or dinner is included. Events are held at Nativity.

Schedule for the 2009-2010 season:

  • Sunday, September 20, 4 pm. "Bach Cello Project - Concert 1", featuring Three Sonatas for Cello and Piano. Additional concerts on January 31 and February 21 at Christ Church, Raleigh; more information here.
