Do you have art at home that sits alone by itself because there is nowhere to display it? Do you have photos that remain on iphoto taking up space on your hard drive that are beautiful but you don't know what to do with them? We have a place for them! Lately our walls have seemed a little drab, and we would love your help spicing things up by contributing some of your artwork to what will soon be our very own gallery at Anchorage City Church.
