Creo Arts is excited to premiere a new film exploring the life and legacy of St. Francis of Assisi, directed by David Whitaker. Through cinematic storytelling, this film invites viewers to reflect on Francis’ enduring witness of humility, peace, compassion, and love for creation.

The premiere will take place in conjunction with the St. Francis Exhibition at the Creo Arts Gallery this November, bringing together film and visual art to celebrate a life that continues to inspire generations.

More details coming soon.

This November, Creo Arts invites artists and the community to explore the life and legacy of St. Francis of Assisi through visual art, film, and creative expression. Inspired by his devotion to peace, humility, compassion, and the beauty of creation, this exhibition celebrates the many ways Francis continues to call us toward a deeper awareness of God’s presence in the world around us. Join us for an evening of art, reflection, and community as we celebrate a life that has inspired generations.

From Eden to Gethsemane to the wilderness, Scripture is full of landscapes where humanity encounters God. Sometimes those places are cultivated and familiar; sometimes they are untamed and uncertain. Artists are invited to reflect on these landscapes—literal or lived—where God’s presence is revealed through attention, courage, order, or wild beauty.

Timed with Lent, Holy Week, and Easter, this exhibition explores death as a passage rather than an end, and resurrection as both cosmic and personal. Artists may respond to themes of surrender, burial, grief, waiting, renewal, and new life. Work can range from subtle transformation motifs or scenes of Spring to explicit crucifixion and resurrection imagery.

A winter exhibition exploring Christ as Light—appearing quietly, persistently, and sometimes unexpectedly. Artists are invited to consider illumination, hope, revelation, endurance, and God’s presence in shadowed places.

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Mandy Smith, artist and pastor, for our first Third Thursday gathering of 2026. In this thoughtful and generative conversation, Mandy will explore how artistic practices—like patience, attentiveness, and hopeful experimentation—can renew Christian leadership, especially in seasons of discouragement or decline. Together, we’ll consider how creativity helps us join God’s redemptive work of re-making the Church and the world.
