We are artists, designers and performers from all disciplines.

We have a Mennonite connection.

We realize this influences what we do and why we
do it.

We want to find other people who make art and get the Mennonite thing.

Let's talk.

Thanks for sharing this info.  Do we happen to know what the film will be on?  (Am wondering it might actually become mainstream, so that I could see it...)

Mennonite Artist Project

FEATURED ARTIST

 

Posted by Mennonite Artist Project on October 25, 2011 at 4:08am — 5 Comments

Welcome

Welcome to the Mennonite Artist Project: a place to exchange ideas, share resources, promote shows, post reviews, find mentors, arrange collaborations, commission new work and speak in depth about what it means to be an artist. Questions? Contact us at info@mennoniteartistproject.com.

Who we are
We are a network of artists with Mennonite ties. We are practicing Mennonites, ex-Mennonites, partners of Mennonites and everything in between. Some of us were raised in the church and are already connected to Mennonite artistic communities. Others prefer to keep our Mennonite experience at arm's length. Still others make our art outside of any religious arena. Many of us are professional musicians, writers, designers, performers, visual artists. Some of us are emerging artists.

If you are wondering if you belong, the criteria are simple: You may be an artist of any discipline who has an understanding of, or connection to, the Mennonite community.

Why it matters
Regardless of our different disciplines, lifestyles and belief systems, the truth remains that Mennonite influence presents unique footholds and obstacles to artists. This struggle and celebration is what brings us together. It is the common ground that the Mennonite Artist Project wants to explore. MAP is a proclamation that art is indeed a Mennonite thing.

How we do it
This project is indebted to generations of artists who have made work out of, and in spite of, a Mennonite identity. It follows in the footsteps of Mennonite arts magazines, regional gatherings, college departments, alumni organizations and anyone who has worked to find a community of artists who value Mennonite culture. It is also inspired by the courage of those artists who, in order to freely express themselves, chose to break from their Mennonite communities.

We need your help, perspective and talent! Each of us will determine the effectiveness of this site. There are no rules other than respect and tolerance. Of course, we are hoping you'll feel inspired, supported and more aware of the work that others are making. If you would appreciate an accessible, inclusive network of artists who identify with the Mennonite experience, spend time here!
