"We invite you to prayerfully join us in a God-sized dream—
To send one woman each year to our Art & Faith Creative Retreat,
where beauty, faith, and creativity intertwine under the Italian sun."

We are beyond excited to announce our 2nd Annual Art & Faith Creative Retreats Scholarship Program, for our retreats in the beautiful setting of Bellagio, Italy—a place where art, faith and community connects in the most life-changing ways.
Our retreats are designed to be transformative, providing a unique opportunity for women to deepen their faith while nurturing their creativity in an inspiring environment. Through a combination of artistic workshops, morning devotions and community building, attendees leave with renewed purpose and a deeper connection to both their art and their faith.
Our retreats encourage women to gather and create, be refreshed in their faith, and connect their creativity to our Creator, all while forming deep, lasting connections. The bonds that are formed during these retreats leave women not only with a renewed sense of joy, but with new, lifelong friendships that provide ongoing support and encouragement long after the retreats end.
Our Board of Directors will oversee the application process and choose one woman each year to grant a full scholarship to attend the retreat, free of charge, including airfare, allowing her to step into this incredible experience without financial barriers.
Our hope is that this Scholarship Fund Event will provide the funds needed through the art donations and monetary giving that will allow the opportunity for one woman each year to unlock their creative potential, deepen their faith, and build relationships that will continue to inspire and uplift them for years to come—all within the stunning backdrop of Bellagio, Italy.
