We started with eight artists meeting at Marianne McDonough’s home. For 18 months, we prayed, planned, and sought God for His vision and purposes. It was an amazing spiritual adventure we all still treasure. Our worship was deep, and God’s Spirit encouraged us with His presence and wisdom.

In 2012, after laying much groundwork, we held our first conference, Worship in the Potter’s Hands. Everyone was excited, and we knew that we were starting a great adventure. 

Since that time, we have produced fourteen major exhibits, eight of which have or are traveling to various locations in the Twin Cities and one that occupied the beautiful gallery at the Minneapolis Public Library. We also sponsored five conferences, a DVD series, numerous fellowship opportunities for our artists, a television program on worship arts, and a number of community outreach ministries for homeless children, nursing home residents, prisoners, cancer patients, and the city of Minneapolis May Day Festival.

In 2021, we launched our "Fresh Oil Artists" art blog, an ongoing presentation of new art with inspirational writings. We also feature art from past exhibits and singular artists. In December, 2025, we published our first coffee table book, An Artful Journey Through Psalm 92. This exciting venture combines the writing and art gifts of our bloggers into an art book that reads like a devotional. It is currently available on Amazon. We also created an exhibition featuring that art that is currently available for tour in 2026-2027.

In addition to our annual exhibition videos, we have filmed a beautiful photoshoot featuring local photographer Wayne Moran (God' in the City) and two documentaries (God Our Refuge and Go to the Potter's House). God Our Refuge, a combination documentary and virtual art exhibit, fared very well in national film fesitivals, and Go to the Potter's House, just recently released in January, 2026, has already been selected and won awards nationally and internationally.

We thank God for the privilege to serve Him and give Him all the glory, because His grace alone provided the vision, path, resources, and strategies. 

Welcome to our 2025-2026 traveling exhibition! We launched this beautiful faith experience on May 17th at the Hugh's Pavillion in Edina, MN. Please click on the video to meet some of our artists and view the opening event.
