The work of our hands
“Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands.” — Psalm 90:17
Big Heart Studios is a mobile creative art studio — in the hills outside Tirana, in the quiet corners of Durrës, and in the studio space we share at home in Northeast Georgia. We bring brushes, paper, paint, and slow afternoons to people who are carrying a great deal and who don’t always know there’s an artist in them.
“Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands.”
— Psalm 90:17
Where your gift goes
Every partnership dollar sustains the slow, faithful work of relationship — art supplies for classes, space to meet, travel between Georgia and Albania, stipends for the artists who teach alongside us, and the everyday costs of hospitality. Nothing flashy. Just the paint, paper, coffee, and open door that makes the ministry real.
One gift, or a monthly partnership
A one-time gift matters. But monthly partnership is what lets us plan a whole year — knowing we can commit to the children who come each week, to the women’s gatherings, and to the trips across the water. Any amount, at any interval, is a real contribution to a real work.
Out of respect for the dignity of those we serve through Big Heart Studios, all financial partnership for the studio is quietly coordinated here, rather than promoted through the studio itself. Thank you for meeting us on this side of the work.
