During the Arts and Justice Conference, Marv and Beth Turner taught workshops that helped create the promotional video seen above.

Arts and Justice Conference from October 20 – 22, 2011
As we come to the end of 2011, we find that justice still cries out in frustration, longing to be heard over the roar of our TV screens, while the arts lack focus and quickly succumb to boredom. We asked, “What would happen if the two came together?”
Come join KSC in exploring the arts movement in conjunction with the justice movement. Healine Speakers include filmmaker Darren Wilson, Mercy29’s Lyle Phillips and Kaleidoscope Art’s Director Mrs. Fields, for three days of creating with justice in mind through dance, music, film/photography, design and more.

Headline Speakers
Darren Wilson
“Darren founded Wanderlust Productions in 2006 when he started stumbling through his first feature film, Finger of God. Later, he decided to surround himself with people who were more talented than him to help create his second feature, Furious Love, but of course he takes all the credit for their great work. Darren’s job description includes creating the stories, dealing with a variety of “interesting” reactions to Wanderlust’s films, planning all the shoots, and paying all the bills. Darren taught for 10 years at Judson University before moving into production full time, and he is currently the Artist-in-Residence at Judson.” —Darren Wilson
