Churches
There has been a great divide between artists and the church… and even art and the church. I have spent the last few years working with different faith communities to create appropriate and meaningful partnerships between these two groups. There can be much discussion on this topic, so let’s not get too into it in this section. What I do mostly with is come to a communal gathering and create out of that time. I partner with the worship leader and the speaker to create something that is cohesive. I call it the “Visual Word”. We provide the musical word and the verbal word in most of our gatherings. But, and maybe because it’s my inclination, I want to know what it is that God wants us to see. That’s what I hope to bring.
There are many ways this can be worked out, but I never keep the art in these settings. I want churches to start to collect art by investing in artists and having them create out of their spiritual journeys together. I am also open to meeting with local artists in the community and leading workshops along the lines of visual worship. And there is so much more! Just email me if you want to talk more about it.
(Here’s a little video to help get the idea across…)
