This partnership offers very exciting possibilities. Not only will the students enrolled in these classes learn the priceless fresco techniques present in all our classes, they will have the opportunity to leave a timeless mark on the sanctuary itself.
The higher level classes will have the opportunity to decorate the interior of the church with their own frescos, while they continue their study of fresco painting.
The congregation of St John’s was organized in 1828 from members expelled by the Methodist Episcopal Church over issue of lay rights and representation. Throughout the years, the congregation has been at the forefront of Christian social action. They have taken it upon themselves to lend their support to the arts and social actions in a variety of different mediums and settings.
In maintaining St. John’s social action and interest in the community along with the arts, the Fresco School will also be involved in community outreach programs. We plan to offer scholarships to low-income and homeless individuals with the desire of giving them applicable skills. It is our hope that this knowledge will enrich their lives while giving them a valuable knowledge.
