Christians in the Visual Arts

Christians in the Visual Arts exists at the core of a movement within the Church and culture. Founded in 1979, Christians in the Visual Arts has over 1200 members and a network of over 9,000 individuals and organizations. We connect artists, scholars, patrons, churches and the culture and encourage Christians participating in the visual arts to develop their callings to the highest professional level; to learn how to engage specific issues within the field without compromising either faith or standards of artistic endeavor; to provide opportunities for sharing work and ideas; to foster understanding, trust and cooperative relationships among those in the arts, Church and society.

CIVA supports universities; colleges and seminaries; the work of local congregations; students enrolled in studio, art history, art education and art criticism programs; and artists and art professionals currently shaping the cultural landscape. (read less)
