. . . brings together people interested in doing things of a creative nature, such as sculpting, painting or sketching, writing, music, miniatures, stained glass, needlework, or any other medium of self-expression. We provide a sounding board and audience of like-minded people. Some of our activities have been making Humanist banners, composing and performing a "Darwin Rap" for the annual Darwin Day celebration, reading parts from skits and plays, and holding drumming sessions. In our monthly meetings, one or more persons present some aspect of their creative endeavors.

Humanist Celebrants have the legal authority to officiate at weddings, and possess diverse resources for celebrations and ceremonies.
