Join us for our First Annual Online Art Gala, inspired by the life and legacy of Lilias Trotter, a pioneering artist and missionary whose work beautifully intertwined creativity with faith. This special raffle, held in her honor, features artwork created by our students and local artists. It's your chance to own a one-of-a-kind piece while contributing to student scholarships, echoing Trotter's belief that art can be a powerful vessel for inspiration and service.

Lilias Trotter (1853–1928) was a British artist who sacrificed a promising career in Victorian England to serve as a missionary in Algeria, where she used her sketches and writings to share God's love. She once reflected that she believed God had two textbooks: Scripture and creation. She studied both through her art. In honor of her, we've curated this event to celebrate creativity.
