Artist in Residence Program

The Artist in Residence Program was established at Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in 2002 to restore the arts to the church through empowering artists in our church community. Participants for this program are chosen then commissioned to create their art on a theme given by the Director of Worship and the Arts, for use and ownership of the church. The artist is compensated for his or her original piece, plus a percentage of any sellable items.
