Community Groups at Southminster
The Celebration of Creativity Annual Art Show
Started over 40 years ago by a small group at Southminster, the goal was to meet the needs of local artists for a recurring professional venue and to make fine art available and affordable to the community. We also provide money for scholarships and art programs as part of its mission to promote local arts by supporting art education. The committee sponsors three scholarships for the Beaverton Arts Foundation’s outstanding high school visual art students. In addition, the committee has supported the Beaverton School District Art Literacy Program for the past 16 years with volunteers and donations.
Over the years, this showcase of local and regional talent has grown to become one of the premier art shows in the Portland area, famous for its
The Art Show Committee of Southminster works year-round to produce the Celebration of Creativity, inviting both emerging and established artists after jurying. The show typically happens annually on the first weekend of March, so 2024 is on the schedule for February 29 – March 3! Join us!

Super Wednesdays
An inclusive group who gather for discussion and friendship. As we are finding through research, friendships, and socialization are imperative for maintaining a strong mind as we age. However, it’s never too early to start! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in regardless of age. The broader the span, the healthier the perspective. The group atmosphere is warm and accepting and embraces sharing. There is time for serious thought, as well as time for laughter and joy. Come have a cup of coffee or tea and join the shared camaraderie. You’ll be glad you did. There is no commitment, just drop in at 11:00 am on Wednesdays. Email Barbara Walker for the Zoom details.
Water2Wine is now Weekly Wine on Wednesdays!
Our most popular monthly social gathering where we sample wines from different regions has transitioned to a weekly virtual gathering. While we all learn a little more about wine, we think that the best part of the group is meeting fellow Southminsters in a relaxed social setting which lets us get to know each other better. Email Water2Wine for the Zoom details.

Our Women’s Retreat strives to be inclusive and invites all women (cis, trans, femme, and gender-nonconforming) to join us! Retreats take place in May.
