The Culture Club creates opportunities to learn about and experience the range of arts events that New York City has to offer. In order to be renewers of culture, we need to be knowledgeable about and engaged in it. The arts are only one aspect of "culture," but they are important because they both reflect and influence the worldviews around us.

Every month or so, we attend a performance, exhibition, or other arts event. Each "outing" will have an educational component - we will send information about the event, and a Redeemer artist working in that art form will "host" the trip and lead a discussion. It's a great way to learn about the arts and have a new experience! Most events are appropriate for ages 13 and up.

We purchase group-priced tickets (up to 20% off of single ticket prices) in moderately-priced seating areas of each venue to allow everyone to be able to afford to be part of the group. Those who wish to buy more (or less) expensive tickets on their own are welcome to join us for the discussion and receive the educational material.

Because the number of tickets to these events is limited, we often do not announce the in the Redeemer bulletin and other church-wide communications tools. Join the Culture Club eNewsletter (by signing up in the box here) to be the first to know about all upcoming Culture Club events!
