Joe Castillo performs SandStory art at UC


Joe Castillo draws stories in the sand.  

Williamsburg, Ky. - Joe Castillo demonstrated his sand art storytelling at the University of the Cumberlands during the weekend of their 125th anniversary and homecoming on Oct. 4, 2013.

             Castillo created the art of SandStory ten years ago, which combines art with technology to tell God’s love story in a memorable way to audiences. He projects colored light onto the sand on the table and uses his hands to form pictures which are displayed on a screen for the audience to watch. The video records his art that only exists for a moment as it’s ever changing.
              “I developed sand story to tell the kind of stories that change people’s lives,” Joe Castillo said.
               Castillo is most well-known for his time on the reality TV show “America’s Got Talent.” He told the audience about his experience on the show that allowed him to share God’s love story with millions of viewers. The meaningful conversations that he had with the other acts, staff, and other back stage people were his favorite part of the reality show.

The amazing opportunity on “America’s Got Talent” gave Castillo a broader stage to share God’s love story in countries where he would not have been able to go as a missionary or pastor. He has performed for President Jimmy Carter, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, other dignitaries, and in 40 states and 18 countries.
                 “The great value of SandStory is that it requires no translation,” said Castillo about the impact it has when he travels to other countries. “In the grand scheme of things, I’m just a grain of sand,” Castillo said. “I’m not representing myself. I have to be willing to represent Him [God] well.”
“SandStory®” is a live-art presentation performed to music and projected on large screens for a stunning visual effect. Video clips of Castillo's work can be viewed on his website at http://www.joecastillo.com.
Joe Castillo is available to perform his artwork and seminars live at your conference or church. For booking information please contact: Tim Grable • 615-263-4143 • tim@nashvilleagency.com.
