Latest announcement on the future of Chrysalis Seed for 2010 - posted Thursday 4 February, 2010
The last and final e-news for Chrysalis Seed will be sent out in March 2010 to confirm changes and handovers that are currently taking place.
The vision of Chrysalis Seed has been to 'generate multiplying groups of artists in a subculture centred in Jesus'. This will be continuing even though the structure and operations of Chrysalis Seed as a Trust will finish from 1 April, 2010.
The reasons for this are financial, personal and spiritual. The asset base of the main supporter of the Trust has been severely reduced through the economic crisis. We see this as a sign that God will multiply the work and vision of Chrysalis Seed, without the organisation itself. A grass roots movement will continue to emerge as fresh shoots sprouting out of the stump of the tree that is being cut down. Artists and activists will continue to build on the foundations we have built in the last 14 years.
The following will continue in 2010:
- eight groups of Christian artists meeting regularly throughout New Zealand.
- a social network of over 540 artists and supporters. (csartspace.org.nz)
- an intact and comprehensive library of art and faith materials available nationally to artists and students through Knox College, Dunedin.
- our personal networking with artists throughout New Zealand (Peter & Jessica Crothall)
- all published CS Arts magazines available online (we will have an update on in the next e-newsletter)
- a monthly prayer newsletter for artists, groups and arts institutions
