Ignite Your Creativity for Kingdom Impact!

Are you a Christian who works as a creative?

Maybe you work in the entertainment industry—for a theme park, museum, theater, or as part of a film team. Or perhaps you are part of a creative ministry at your church, or you’re a college student pursuing a related field for your career.

This is THE event for you! Gather with fellow creatives to learn from experts working in these fields and experience special sessions and tours designed to spark your imagination and ignite your creativity for kingdom impact.

As part of this event, you will enjoy:

  • Inspiring speakers
  • Practical breakout sessions
  • Fellowship with other creatives
  • Four customized tours:
    • Answers in Genesis Attractions Design Studio—Take a breakfast tour of our design studio and fabrication shop, with a behind-the-scenes look at the Jerusalem Model project.
    • Ark Encounter—This after-hours dessert tour will be led by our Ark Encounter Attractions Design Team.
    • Ark Encounter Welcome Center—Take a construction tour of our new welcome center.
    • Radiance exhibit—This behind-the-scenes construction tour will take you through the new exhibit coming to the Creation Museum.
