Welcome to the FQA Home Page
The Fellowship of Quakers in the Arts has as its purpose “to nurture and showcase the literary, visual, musical, and performing arts within the Religious Society of Friends, for purposes of Quaker expression, ministry, witness, and outreach. To these ends, we will offer spiritual, practical, and financial support as way opens.”
The Art of Fearlessness
FQA thanks all who coordinated, volunteered, performed, showed and attended our national project “The Art of Fearlessness” throughout May this year. New friendships were made and old acquaintances rekindled, thought on the role fear plays in our lives was inspired and new art created ! We hope to repeat such an “experiment” in the future – theme ideas welcome….

UPCOMING ! FQA ART SHOW AT CAMP OCKANICKON (Medford, NJ)
Calling all artists to show at FQA’s next Art Show, to be held during the “Tri-Quarter Conference” at beautiful Camp Ockanickon in Medford, NJ! The show will be held the weekend of Friday, Sept. 29 through Sunday, October 1 this Fall. Each artist is invited to bring up to 5 pieces of original artwork, but for smaller pieces, boxes of prints, cards, etc, artists may bring more than 5 if cleared with curator. 2-D work must be framed and/or ready for hanging. 3-D artwork will also be accepted. Artists are asked to bring their own preferred easel/display stands if possible, as FQA has a limited number of easels. It is hoped that artists showing consider becoming members of FQA(see “Join” button) but this is not a necessity for this particular show. All artwork must be listed on an Intent to Show Form by Sept. 22(email dpulone@comcast.net for form) and be delivered in person or sent with a representative to Camp Ockanickon on Friday, September 29, 2017 between 4:30 and 7:30 pm OR Saturday, Sept 30 from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm. Artists may show whether or not they stay for the whole weekend(cabin and lodge accommodations available) as long as they pick up, or have someone arrange to pick up their work by 2 pm on Oct. 1. Items may be sold or shown as not for sale.
Please email art show coordinator Doris Pulone at dpulone@comcast.net or call 609-801-1126 for more info, Intent to Show forms or directions to Camp Ockanickon.
