About
The Creative Arts Collective is a catalyst for the Christian Arts.
The Creative Arts Collective for Christian Life & Faith launched in Spring 2024 on the campus of Belmont University and is funded by a $32 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. Through our grantmaking, events, and storytelling initiatives, we support expressions of the Christian story that inspire moments of awe and wonder through art and art experiences.
Positioned at the intersection of faith and artistry, the Creative Arts Collective is a vibrant community that believes in the transformative power of the arts to connect us with God’s profound narrative, uplift spirits, and unite hearts in a shared journey of discovery.
