Church Des Artistes was born out of a passion for
Community engagement
The creative spirit
A sustainable ethos
We rescued the church in 1985
The interiors are up cycled or handmade
Much of the renovation was done in trade by skilled artists, artisans & friends
We recycle thoughtfully and compost with a city community compost site.
