We are pleased to present exciting educational offerings this winter!
We are pleased to announce our winter 2025 Image Seminar & Intensives, an opportunity to dive deeper into your craft, guided by faculty from our community who understand the unique impulses and challenges facing artists at the intersection of art and faith.
Image Seminars and Intensives are designed for:
- Writers of all levels, both published and unpublished, who wish to engage seriously in their craft.
- People interested in growing in a cohort setting, offering and receiving thoughtful feedback on their work.
- Writers who are interested in receiving guidance from world-class faculty, who have also proven themselves in their own craft and in the classroom.
These workshop are for writers and art-appreciators of all levels who wish to develop their craft in an environment uniquely oriented toward asking the big questions of life, faith, and doubt. If you are yearning for a compassionate writing community, seeking to learn more about yourself, hoping for a thorough review of your work, or wishing for a supportive place to grow in your craft, these workshops are for you.

About Image Intensives & Seminars
We are pleased to announce our latest Image Intensives and Seminars, an opportunity to dive deeper into your craft, guided by faculty from our community who understand the unique impulses and challenges facing artists at the intersection of art, faith, and mystery.
Image Intensives offer an intimate, concentrated, MFA style learning experience with world-class faculty. These offerings are capped at 8–12 students, include weekly reading and writing assignments, and they provide 1:1 manuscript review and feedback from your instructor.
Image Seminars offer the unique opportunity to learn from an Image faculty in a cohort of like-minded creatives. Without the weekly assignments and feedback found in Image Intensives, our seminars provide a lighter lift, while still offering connection with an artistic community and an infusion of experience and insights from leaders in their creative disciplines.
With a variety of online learning offerings, our Image Intensives and Seminars are bound to meet your particular creative needs in this season of your craft and life!
Our Winter 2025 Instructors
All faculty in Image classes are chosen not only for their own critical success in their fields, but also for their educational experience and their engagement with questions at the heart of faith, doubt, art, mystery, and their intersections. Our faculty are world-class writers and educators.
