The Work of Our Hands Artists' Market
An opening night reception is planned Thursday, Nov. 21, from 6:00 - 8:00. Tickets, available at the door, are $15 per person. Hors d’oeuvres, wine, and other beverages will be served.
Admission to the market on Friday, Nov. 21, through Sunday, Nov. 24, is free and open to the public. Hours are Friday and Saturday 9:00-5:00 and Sunday 8:30-1:30.
The Work of Our Hands is a non-profit organization founded in 2000 by the Rt. Rev. Frank K. Allan, eighth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. A passionate believer in the spiritual benefits of rediscovering one’s imagination and creative gifts, Bishop Allan sought to build an organization to support art-oriented programs throughout the metro Atlanta area. He and his wife, Elizabeth, conceived and developed the Artists' Market as a major source of funding for art programs as well as a showcase for the creative spirit that crosses all boundaries and walks of life.
Proceeds from the market benefit organizations that promote and support arts and crafts programs that serve persons marginalized by socioeconomic, mental health, and intellectual challenges. Recent grant recipients include Emmaus House (www.emmaushouse.org ), which serves underprivileged individuals and families in the Peoplestown community and Holy Comforter Friendship Center (www.holycomforter.episcopalatlanta.org ), which serves people with mental and physical disabilities in East Atlanta.

First Five Freedoms is proud to join Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law, The Temple, and All Saints Episcopal Church for "Faith, Law, & Democracy: A Community Conversation on the Public Good and the Rule of Law" on Tuesday June 2. We hope you will consider joining us for this important discussion. Americans across the political spectrum are grappling with a shared unease: the feeling that something foundational is slipping. Trust in institutions is eroding. The norms that once governed public life are contested. And the concept of the public good — the idea that we share a common stake in fair, just, and accountable governance — is increasingly hard to find in our public discourse. This program brings together faith leaders, legal experts, and engaged community members for an evening of honest conversation about what is at stake. Hosted at All Saints Episcopal Church and co-presented by The Temple, Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law (GLRL), and First Five Freedoms, the event weaves together spiritual reflection, legal analysis, and civic dialogue to address one central question: What does it mean to protect the rule of law — and why does it matter for all of us, right now? The evening will include reflection, analysis, and discussion designed to:
- Connect faith, law, and civic responsibility in an accessible, nonpartisan framework
- Examine current challenges to the rule of law and their implications for democracy
- Create space for authentic dialogue across perspectives and institutions
- Foster relationships and identify opportunities for collective action
