Art for Heaven's Sake! 2009 Home
Art, for Heaven’s Sake! is a three day annual art show held on the beautiful grounds and gardens of the Redlands United Church of Christ. This premiere art show of the Inland Empire features 50 – 60 artists representing a wide variety of media, including acrylics, photography, watercolor, oils, stained glass, jewelry, pottery, and metal sculpture. The Redlands United Church of Christ holds this event to support the arts and the community.
From the first show and sale held in a private home and featuring five local artists, the show has grown to accommodate up to sixty artists. Although many selected artists are still local, over the years, the reputation of the show has spread, resulting in submissions from artists from all over the Western states.
The art show committee selects the best of the submissions and strives to include fine art representing a wide range of media. Admittance to the show is free. A percentage of the art sales goes to the church. The proceeds have in the past been used to support church building projects, the church’s handbell choir, the Family Service Association, and Food for All. Part of the proceeds from the 2005 show was used to donate $7,000 to hurricane relief for the city of Lafitte, Louisiana.
Show and sale hours are:
Friday, Oct. 16, 7 pm – 10 pm
Saturday, Oct. 17, 10 am – 5 pm
Sunday, Oct. 18, 11:30 am – 5 pm
