The Creative Call exists to use art as a bridge to bring healing and hope to people’s stories and to connect them to God’s heart and His story of redemption.

Through the faith of our leaders, we bring the heart of Jesus to many through art workshops. Creative Call has led workshops which combine art, faith, and story in Asia, Africa, Europe, Haiti, North, South and Central America to serve many diverse people. Creative Call is located in Seattle, Washington.
