The whole weekend
Multiple sessions across a camp week or a retreat weekend, with the art landing where it hits hardest. Ben has been doing camp since the year he started.
Churches, camps and retreats
This is where it all started.
In 1995 Ben sat in a small church camp and watched an eighty-year-old chalk artist named Bill Leach fill a board with a landscape while he talked. Ben went home knowing exactly what he wanted to do with his life.
Thirty years later the camps are still on the calendar, right alongside the schools and the conference stages. Churches, camps, retreats, youth events, men's and women's weekends, family nights.
Ben speaks. Then the talking stops, the music comes up, and a six-by-eight-foot painting is created live in front of the room. For faith-based audiences he weaves Scripture and his own walk with Jesus straight through the message rather than leaving it at the door.
A few ways it works
However your weekend is built.
A service or a general session
A Sunday morning, a conference main session, a men's or women's event, a family night. One message, one painting, done inside your existing service order.
Just the art
No speaking at all. Fifteen to twenty-five minutes of music and a blank canvas becoming a finished piece. Works as an opener, a closer, or a worship moment.
Churches and camps
Send the date and the city.
That is enough to find out if Ben is open. Email is the fastest way to reach him, and you will get an answer from Ben rather than a booking agency.
