Rough Draught
Coffee House
Celebrating the Image of God in Art and Artists
What is Rough Draught Coffee House?Mission: to host community events that celebrate the image of God through art and artists-- which isn't necessarily religious art or topics.
We believe we see God at work through the creative process and the beauty of art. As such, we give thanks for those who create such wonderful works and we create spaces for them to share their gifts. Further, we believe God is at work in and through us, even beyond our own knowing. So, we want to provide opportunities for people of the New River Valley to see how all sorts of art may work to connect them more deeply with God!
We host events, from poetry readings, lectures, concerts, art installations, and workshops as a way to celebrate the image of God through art and artists. |

It was an honor to have Bill and Chelsea Adams perform at CLC on Friday, 11/4! With decades of experience and published works, as well as talented synchronization from decades of practice, it was a beautiful and delightful evening.
We appreciate all who attended this poetry and blues event. The duo's style offered a brilliant means to transcend into different perspectives on topics that surround us in our daily life. The audience engaged in conversation and questions after the show regarding what inspired their work. |
