ECVA has a new brand
new blog. It's designed to enliven the voice of our community—a
community of artists working at the intersections of Art and Faith.
You will find news here of interest to ECVA artists, news about
local ECVA Chapters, and news and conversation about ECVA's mission
to create programs that support those who are engaged in using the
visual arts in spiritual life.
Our intersections are
many—from each artist who becomes a member of The Artists Registry @
ECVA and participates in our online exhibitions—to local area ECVA
Chapters—to the clergy, music directors, and friends who not only
bring visual arts into our sacred spaces, but also use visual arts to
help build those sacred spaces.
Intersections @ ECVA
will be updated when news arrives. The news will be varied. Content
might be related to an ECVA Chapter exhibition, or it might be a
Call for Entries from a group outside ECVA. The blog will not
replace the newsletter. You will still get a newsletter announcing
Calls and Exhibitions, along with a summary of blog items and links
to them.
You can easily subscribe
to the blog. There is a subscription link on the blog in the lower
right-hand corner. Scroll down to "FOLLOW US BY EMAIL," enter your
e-mail address, and click "Submit." Then, every time we post a
new entry, you will receive it via e-mail.

FROM THE BLOG...
Digital Art and the
Worshipping Community:
Visual art is a vehicle in which ordinary observation can lead to
personal insight. In Christian community gathered for prayer and
worship, visual art can support a reading of the Word, seeing with
the eyes, listening with the heart, and responding in prayer and in
action. Can these relationships continue when the art is transmitted
in digital form and the community is facing a stadium-sized
projection screen? Read more
