Wesleyan Artist Market Makes Connection With Wesleyan Missions Program
April 4th, 2019
Students returning from the Dominican Republic Makarios Mission Trip last week will receive a special treat at the 2019 Wesleyan Artist Market as former Wesleyan teacher and missionary Adrienne Christian will return from the Dominican Republic to sell the work of local artists from the Dominican Republic.
While the students were in the Dominican Republic, they had the opportunity to play with kids, lead chapel services, help with art projects, and show the community the love of Jesus. With Christian bringing the local artwork to Atlanta, the Wesleyan community now has a chance to support their ministry.
The proceeds from the artwork are way to support the artists and the Makarios' Family Empowerment Ministry. The artists are known as the 'Virtuous Women' - a group of women from Quisqueya, Dominican Republic where Adrienne has served. They make jewelry, crosses and coasters out of cereal boxes and magazines. The artists also make watercolor paintings, pop top earrings, and handbags/ baskets.
We look forward to seeing you at the Wesleyan Artist Market from April 25th – 27th. For more information on the featured artists, visit the Wesleyan Artist Market social media pages for artist spotlights.
