About Creatio Arts | New England
The Creatio Arts Conference exists to gather and equip New England artists to grow in Christ, be shaped in community, and be sent out to create with purpose.
From musicians and visual artists to actors, dancers, writers, bread makers, sculptors, and more, we celebrate that each of us is made in God’s image and called to create.
Whether your calling is in the church, the home, the marketplace, or the broader world—or whether you are just beginning, developing your craft, or working professionally—this conference is for you.
Join us on Saturday, October 10 as we explore what God says about creativity, inspiration, and artistry, and discover practical ways to thrive as creative people.
Through plenary sessions and breakout groups led by artists from across New England, this will be a time to build friendships, be inspired, and be sent out with fresh vision and passion.
Leadership
The Creatio Arts Conference is a partnership between Walnut Hill Community Church and Vision New England, united in a shared desire to support, nurture, and send out artists into every sphere of life—into their homes, churches, schools, workplaces and culture—one of the most impactful mission fields of our time, where billions are engaging with creative content every day and where God is at work shaping hearts and lives.
We believe this moment is unfolding right here in New England—a place with a rich artistic and spiritual history, where Great Awakenings have taken place, and artists have long found home, community and inspiration. We sense that God is stirring something new in our region and calling artists to gather.
For more than 40 years, the arts have played a significant role in the life of Walnut Hill. Lead Pastor – Executive, Adam DePasquale remembers, “I now recognize what a gift it was for me to grow up in a church that not only invested in the next generation but saw the value of arts in today’s world. I was encouraged, invested in, and empowered to develop and use my gifts within the church and in the world. I am who I am today because of that investment. We have felt an invitation and calling from God to “sound a trumpet” – a beckoning call, that God wants to work in and through artists today in a fresh way to reveal who He is and support and usher in His plans in the world.”
Vision New England is an association of 1,000+ ministries united by a vision to see New England transformed with the love of Jesus. Their mission is to accelerate evangelism by helping the church work in unity to make disciples, do justice, and share Jesus.
