Curiosity Centers

with an attitude of wonder, we Explore

Curiosity is our response to what God has created.  With an attitude of wonder, we explore God’s truth through His Word and through His creation.


We cultivate curiosity by asking questions, by seeking opportunities to learn, by trying new things, and by persevering in our quest for answers.

At HBAAFF there are a number of "Curiosity Centers" or interactive art & science exhibits.  Our hope is that these exhibits spark your curiosity and lead you to a commitment to use your talents and resources to work toward the good of humanity. 

Empty Bowls

Visitors can purchase student created ceramic bowls in order to donate to help feed the hungry.  (This & Students Rebuild are sponsored by the Art Club.)

Students Rebuild

Visitors and student artists can use their talents to work toward the good of humanity by creating postcards.  Each art postcard created will give $5 to a charity supporting projects that take care of the planet we have been called to steward.
