We are looking for a new rotation of artwork for the Coffee Bar Gallery. The theme is “Joy, Unity and Hope in Jesus.” This is an opportunity for visual artists to share their God given talent while ministering to the hearts of others

Art can be an effective tool to simplify and illustrate an abstract idea. In seeking God’s heart, an artist can be inspired with countless ideas that minister to his own heart. When these unique ideas are shared, they can also minister to others in a personal way.

God as the original great creator uses many means to inspire art in His people. Here are a few common sources of inspiration.

A.  Scripture - personal study, lessons and sermons.

B.  Hymns and Christian Music

C.  Symbols/Icons and Visual Art

D.  Personal Experiences in the context of Scripture

Sometimes more than one of these areas comes together to create an “ah ha” moment. For example, a verse speaks to you about something you are wrestling with. Ask yourself “how could I document this as a visual work of art?”

Sooner or later we want to create art that matters. When we make art that aligns our heart with God’s there is a very real possibility that it will matter to someone else.
