Explore how the arts and faith live together and how you can bring healing to a hurting world through your own creation.
Is there a world where artists and conservatives come together to create hope and healing for a hurting generation? What would such a place look like, and how can two groups of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Christy Tenant
If I paint more excellently than any other, but I do not communicate love in my painting, I am nothing more than an offensive noise; like Pavarotti accompanied by an out-of-tune piano: a mockery of the beautiful.
If I possess divine insights and wisdom, and even if I have strong spiritual fortitude, but I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Art encompasses the satisfaction of words well used.
Poetry and rhetoric and just plain stories are definitely part of our artistic heritage.
Most of life cannot be reduced to watertight propositions or exhaustively described.
Our finitude guarantees error, whether or not we realize our mistakes.
But from Homer onwards, words carry and describe our deep engagement with reality and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Gary Bradley and Donald McGilchrist
Â 
Long before men could articulate their ideas in written form they captured the divine experience, the mysterious, with art. Cave paintings, rituals, voice sounds, instrumental sounds and gestures were among the many attempts to convey the
abstract.
Â 
In &#8220;Art: A New History,&#8221; Paul Johnson writes, â€œThe first point to grasp is the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been thinking about this question of excellence for sometime now. My interest is in clarifying some terms.
For example, often you hear about excellence in reference to what is deemed to be â€˜the best.â€™ Sometimes you hear about excellence in reference to â€˜masteringâ€™ a particular task or craft. These terms, if not clear for [...]]]></description>

Circling around an old weight and chain caged elevator the stairs empty out onto a third floor hallway where Ken Green fills his concrete and brick studio with his artwork, brushes, paint, and easels.
