WE LOVE ART
 

Calling Artists 

​

You are invited to our Art Internship where we want to call artists and creatives to serve God and people around them. We recognise God as the ultimate artist who beautifully created the heavens and the earth, full with life, beauty, colour, functionality and intentionality. He created you and me in his own image and likeness and gave us the task to fill the earth with his glory and co-create with him. In this Internship you´ll get to grow in your relationship with God and you´ll be equipped in different artistic expressions.

 

It is in our very nature and purpose to be creative and to create! God also designed the human soul to observe, interpret, engage with and enjoy our surroundings with our senses. We are therefore also made to enjoy art as it serves as food for our souls.  Everything we see around us is designed and made by somebody, art is part of everything we do! Imagine what a powerful tool art can be! God wants us to fill this earth with art that speaks about Him, that aligns with His character and brings glory to His name.

 

Purpose

​

Through this Internship we want the participants to come alive in their relationship with God through connecting with Him, co-creating with the holy spirit and to release powerful testimonies, stories, messages and emotions. We want you to be able to practice, grow and express yourself in freedom. In the internship we will focus a lot on hearing the voice of God and to remove things in our lives that hinders creativity. Being an artist is also being a servant. A big part of the internship is to do projects that will help, encourage and bring life to others. We will also use art as a tool for sharing the gospel in the streets of Stockholm. 

 

Program design

​

The internship is a 9 week long program where there will be a mix of classroom teaching, practical time to create individually and to do group projects. Participants will live on the YWAM base being a part of our community, to share daily life and engage in activities, such as prayer, worship, evangelism etc. This will provide an experience of how it is to live life as a missionary in Stockholm, Sweden. 

 

You will choose one of these art forms as your main focus: 

  • Fine arts

  • Photography

  • Music

  • Dance

 

The program will be aiming at 3 different parts:

  1. Art for yourself and your relationship with God

  2. Art that serves the community, the people around you.

  3. Art for the world.

 

The last 3 weeks of the internship will be a field assignment where we as a group will create a project that will communicate a message to the world.
