FPCG Continues to Host Forum for Community Artists
The monthly artist roundtables host about 50 participants from a wide range of arts-related vocations and organizations who brainstormed a wealth of ideas regarding how working together can improve the quality of life for them and the community.
At January’s meeting, we prioritized the ideas which have been generated, gathering additional ones, and beginning to develop action plans to implement them. It is not too late to get in on the ground floor of this exciting initiative. If you would like to learn more, either contact Rev. Porter (one of the co-moderators of the event), or go to .
You can also read a recap of the previous roundtables on www.newsworks.org by putting “arts roundtable” in their search engine.
“Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” (Luke 2:13-14)

The Germantown Community Connection (GCC)’s second Artists’ Roundtable will be held at FPCG this Thursday at 7:00pm. This is an opportunity for all artists who live and/or work in Germantown to network with one another and learn how they can be active participants in improving the quality of life of our community.
Matt Wysong, the Planning Commission’s official representative for the northwest, will be in attendance to share his vision of how artists of all types can be integral in the city’s plan for the neighborhood. The Artists’ Roundtable was conceived by our own Reverend Kevin Porter in conjunction with Dr. Vivia Nix-Early of the arts organization Build-A-Bridge as part of GCC’s “Classic Towns” Initiative.
