Sample Art Resources


CIVA
From photography to instillation art, Christians In the Visual Arts (CIVA) explores the relationship between the arts and our Christian faith. This international organization has more than 1,200 members who actively participate in conferences, publications and exhibitions. CIVA gives Christian artists a place for their art while encouraging their professional growth, establishing art in the secular world as well as in the church. Their journal, SEEN, explores issues concerning these topics, such as the relationship between artists and depression or multicultural perspectives, or even the cross. This growing organization provides an outlet for artists as well as a community that develops the creativity of individuals.

Missionary Arts
Missionary Arts an online art gallery that provides an outlet for Christian artists from around the world to sell their art while at the same time raising awareness and support for world missions. The Missionary Art Gallery highlights artists that are either full-time missionaries or that donate a portion of their sales to support world missions. 70 75% of the proceeds go directly to the artists. Since 2003, Missionary Arts has raised over $30,000 for missions, and in December 2006, a total of $4,000 was raised during an exclusive eBay auction to raise money for the construction of two churches in the highlands of Vietnam.

The Other Journal
TOJ is an online theology and arts journal which will host the Film, Faith and Justice weekend in Seattle April 12-15th to look at current issues of social justice and faith through film and dialogue. As host to the internationally respected Human Rights Watch Traveling Film Festival, the weekend will engage in substantive conversations regarding the role of faith in contemporary issues of injustice and will include award-winning documentaries, nationally known theologians and local leaders giving lectures and participating in discussion panels. For more information about the event, please visit: www.filmfaithandjustice.com.

Episcopal Church Visual Artists
The mission of The Episcopal Church and Visual Arts (ECVA) is to encourage artists, individuals, congregations, and scholars to engage the visual arts in the spiritual life of the church. ECVA values the significance of visual imagery in spiritual formation and the development of faith, and creates programs to support those who are engaged in using the visual arts in spiritual life.
