Welcome!
LALAA - Liturgical Artists Living around Atlanta - is a newly-forming guild of people interested in networking and promoting the many, many vibrant expressions of worship. Whatever your faith, we hope you've found this page in your quest to add some creative element to the world of worship!
Please make plans to join us on March 13th or June 18th for one of our events. Meet and network as we build this "hub" for liturgical artists. We welcome - and encourage! - people of all faiths representing all types of art - from dancers to dramatists, painters to poets!
Beginning from a loose association of musicians, clergy and fine artists, LALAA has been trying to emerge for several years. It's existed in the hearts of its Steering Committee, gestating. And now it is taking form!
Ideally, LALAA will grow to:
- provide a place for artists to meet and encourage one another
- be a source of inspiration and creativity
- develop opportunities for expressions of your creativity (worship services, artists' marketplace, etc.)
- eventually become an online spot for liturgical artists to post their art, abilities and availability
- eventually provide an online resource for houses of worship to connect with artists
So, if the creative part of you is urging you to express it in a form that illuminates the Spirit of God. . .
. . . if you are willing to share the talent that you've been blessed with....
. . . if you're curious about what other people are doing....
... you should DEFINITELY plan on attending one of our upcoming events!
