The Heart of the Mind Arts
This wonderful space, yet rough from neglect, will give us room to explore many possibilities. A list of ideas and needs follow on this growing/evolving page. I feel a couple of artists could work and expose their work here including theater, dance, and sound recordings. If you would like to get involved please contact
Here is a
Map
For now the primary use of the building is as a
drum making workshop center.
As the city is wanting me to let them know what I am doing with the church, I am thinking to turn it into residential property steering clear of the commercial label and hoping for four artisans to work together here. I have interests in metal sculpture, ceramics, stone tables and counters, refinishing tables and chairs and other furniture and importantly wood working, wood recovering and the eventual building of drums and workshopes
Other ideas are as fallows if commercial could still apply
Performance theater requiring lighting etc
Recording music or music studio
Projection theater
dance rehearsal,class,performance & workshop space
chanting
having a coffee kiosk
having a hot spot for wi-fi
choreographed sunday service that incorporates visitor participation and people meeting people.
bakery in the kitchen ,.........promoting raw food
....................murals and stained glass to promote major theme.....
...We have spoke of lighting it up, decorative iron, sculpture/s at entrance,
water features, hearth/stove,
I have hopes for a generator that would be set up to heat the place, the power of which could be used for lights and for resale. Bio-diesel was discussed as the fuel as it could be collected cheaply. We could look at generating some of our own in a bakery.
Wheelchair access
We have thought to link to belly dancers, fire spinners, yoga and dance instructors, pagans, youth, local community, rainbow friends, Groups that drum and in general gather to celebrate.
