Founders
Mark and Donna Turner founded Horizon Gate in 1980 after thirteen years touring North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand as performing artists and producing films in Brussels, Belgium. They have worked full time practicing and leading the arts for 53 years.
Since Horizon Gate’s inception the Turners have produced dramatic, documentary and training films, stage plays, audio theater, visual arts, and literature in many cultures spanning five major regions of the world. As arts leaders and teachers they have guided corporations, mission organizations and many church denominations into innovations of communications and outreach. Countless artists have benefited from their counsel and example, some of whom have gone on to form their own organizations.
Mark and Donna have served on the staffs of large churches handling primary communications vehicles and leading arts programs.
Mark’s books can be browsed and purchased HERE and his artwork HERE. Donna has been developing photography as a way of sharing the beauty of Creation. See her photos and musings HERE. She is also sought after for her knowledge in natural health which can be accessed HERE.
Horizon Gate Productions is a non-profit organization incorporated in the state of California. We received our 501(c)(3) tax exemption in 1981. All donations are tax-deductible.
We are governed by a board of directors under the leadership of Mark Turner, President and Artistic Director, and Donna Turner, Vice-President and Producer.
