Inspired by a need and desire to help others and share the joy of art, members of
First United Methodist Church of Birmingham began bringing small arts & crafts projects to enjoy with participants in our
Bag Lunch Program. As they came more often, participants began to look forward to days they got to spend with these volunteers and relationships formed. Hearts grew, friendships developed and lives were changed for the better.
In their enthusiasm for art and soul, a dream came of creating a space for participants, creative and otherwise, to express themselves and store their artwork. And now an art studio is being renovated for that very purpose on the 5th floor of
Central United Methodist Church.
