About the event

The Mennonite Arts Weekend event invites artists and art enthusiasts to join together for a weekend (every other February) of presentations, workshops, performances, and worship. The exciting biennial gathering brings together artists from across the United States and Canada to provide exposure for artists working in different facets of the arts and to provide a setting for interaction and the exchange of ideas.

Feedback past events...

Mennonite Arts Weekend refreshed my appreciation for the variety of artists within our collective tradition. The weekend inspired and stimulated me in ways that go well beyond simple attendance at an event. I was reminded of the many connections linking faith and friends, and interests and vocations. I'm excited for what the next event holds.

The talents shared and experiences at MAW left me feeling inspired and hopeful! And who doesn’t love a good hymn sing?

The weekend is a great weekend to explore and learn about artists and their work in an intimate setting. You really learn about the deep meanings associated with their work.
