Wisco creatives / With a focus on creative voice and expression
WELS Creatives seeks to engage families and schools in a project-based art curriculum that strives to offer high-quality art projects and resources from a Christian perspective for all ages.
This project is supported by Art Camps and other Art Services Provided by its contributors. It is also supported by generous donors like you.
Dream it
Our dream is to be of service to the busy teachers and families who have a desire for enriching art projects. We hope to be a resource for the scheduled weekly art time with the goal of growing a creative group of young Christian artists. The visual world needs a strong Christian artist.
Build it
With the support of various Lutheran Schools and a team of generous content creators, we look to fill a gap in creative education at the elementary level. If you are interested in being a content creator or a supporter of this project, please reach out. This project started in the 2022 school year and is just getting started.
