Central Congregational Church's annual HeArt Festival has been created for the enrichment of Dallas area residents through the support of the artistic community. In this activity we seek to create a public expression of our deep commitment to the Arts and our recognition of talents as gifts of the Creator. Toward this goal, the Festival Committee has adopted the Mission Statement set out below.

We invite your participation in whatever way is appropriate for you. Just be sure to share yourself, that is, your gifts, whether they are expressed as artist or in the appreciation and support of things artistic. Plan now to be here, and extend a timely invitation to your friends and neighbors.

The festival logo, as a mosaic, represents our view that each talent has its place within the whole,
is essential to its completeness, and that this integrity reflects the great diversity evident in God's creation.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of The HeArt Festival is to support the artistic community by providing an opportunity for the display and sale of work by those in the visual arts and for professional presentation of performances by those in the performing arts. In so doing, we seek to assist artists in finding fulfillment through their artistic expression and to acknowledge the significant contribution of artists to the enrichment of our lives, in the knowledge that all talents are gifts of the creator.

The festival affords an occasion for the celebration of our gifts--things of the heart--in praise of God upon recognition of the great variety of talents he has bestowed upon us--

We have differing gifts, according to the grace given us.    Romans 12:6

And, very importantly, for sharing those things that God has put in our hearts to do--

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.     1 Corinthians 12:7
