ASA Adventist Society for the Arts
February 17-19, 2023,
Adventist Worship Center, 15220 N 39th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85053
inSpire is a weekend of interaction, music, art, and more that focuses on using the arts to communicate God’s message of hope and healing to our community and world. It is a gathering of Adventist creatives open to all and begins on Friday evening and runs through Sunday morning with an outdoor activity. If you are an Adventist creative (artist, musician, photographer, poet, songwriter, videographer and/or writer, etc.), we invite you to join us for this unique and transformative experience. Featured music will be the a cappella group, Undivided.
Event Theme: Here by Design
Anyone may attend, with or without registration, but the low registration fee includes some pretty good perks (an inSpire T-shirt, and gift-bag more than offsets the cost).
Registration – Now through February 17, 2023. In addition to the event (which is free to all), registration includes a goody-bag with a pen, name tag, T-shirt, note pad, misc. items, and the option to submit two photos to the “Here by Design” art project. The goody-bag fee $10 per person.
