Biennial Conference

A primary aim of Poiema Visual Arts is to bring artists together in community. A great example of this is our  biennial arts conference. This is a time when believing artists all across Pennsylvania and its surrounding states have an opportunity to connect and grow. Comprised of a plenary speaker, various educational breakout sessions, a vendor hall, and a preview of local arts attractions offered by our host location; the goal is to individually and communally grow to be the Christian-artist-whole-humans God intended us to be.

Our last conference, “Finding Our Place: The Artist, The Church, and Placemaking,” was July 13-15, 2023. Scroll down to find the promotional video, conference recap video, event photos, and more.

Our next conference will be in 2025. Bookmark this page, follow us on Instagram, or sign up for our monthly newsletter for location, dates, keynote speaker, session presenters, early-bird information, and more.
