As former bodybuilders we understand the quest for body symmetry. As artists we embrace those that exemplify the pursuit of physical beauty and recreate on canvas. Over the years we have had the honor of painting Mr USA John DeFendis, Mr USA Eddie Robinson, Mr California Rick Valente amongst many others. Looking forward to having live figure drawing classes at the Atelier workshop with bodybuilding models later this year. John DeFendisIFBB PRO Eddie Robinson Trinity community Art center

A heartfelt thank you to Bob Hendrick for his tireless work on this beautiful piece in honor of St. Michael, whose feast reminds us of the strength and courage God gives us to confront evil. What a gift to share this night with the men and women of the Northport Fire Department and Police Department, who embody that same courage in service to our community each day. Your dedication, sacrifice, and steadfast presence make our town a safer and better place to live. May God bless and protect you always, and may St. Michael continue to watch over you. (Special Thanks to Deacon Bob White and Verger Kevin Fowler for joining us this evening)

Let us pray
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. .

Perfectly stated.

Aristotle once observed that art imitates life but it also shapes life. What we create reflects who we are and in turn what we see and experience in art forms us as people. This is why communities that invest in the arts are often communities that grow in compassion imagination and resilience.

At Trinity Church we see the Trinity Community Art Center as part of our mission to serve the common good. Art is not only about personal expression. It is about building a shared world. Every painting, sculpture, and poem adds another thread to the tapestry of our common life.

Philosophers of art remind us that beauty, goodness, and truth are inseparable. If you cultivate beauty you are also nurturing truth. If you open yourself to truth you are also drawn toward goodness. Art is one of the rare human activities that touches all three at once. This is why art matters not only to galleries and schools but to churches and neighborhoods.

Art has the power to expand empathy. When you encounter the perspective of another through their art you step outside your own experience. You begin to feel the joys and sorrows of someone different from you. This is no small thing. In a world fractured by division art becomes a form of healing.

The Christian tradition has always recognized this. Cathedrals, mosaics, icons, stained glass, and hymns were not produced only to decorate but to form the soul. They taught entire generations to imagine God, to see creation as radiant, to sense their lives as part of a larger story.

The Trinity Community Art Center continues this tradition for our own time and place. It opens space for neighbors to encounter one another and to discover together what is true, what is good, and what is beautiful.

When you come to Trinity Church for worship you participate in a liturgy of beauty. When you come during the week to the Art Center you participate in a liturgy of community. Both lead us closer to the God who created us in love and invites us to create in love.

Supporting art is not a side project. It is part of our mission to serve Northport and beyond. To foster imagination is to foster hope. To share beauty is to strengthen the bonds of community.

We invite you to join us at Trinity Community Art Center. Encounter the art of your neighbors. Let it challenge you, delight you, and transform you. Together we can nurture a culture where faith and creativity work side by side for the flourishing of all.
