Strategies
Grantmaking
Grantmaking is the main energizing strategy of our nationwide movement in Christianity and the Arts and critical to accomplishing our aspirational aim of inspiring people to discover and live the beauty and wisdom of the Christian story and encountering God through the Arts.
Convening
Convening together artists, creatives, leaders, educators, and innovators from across the nation is our catalyzing force to create a thriving network in Christianity and the Arts. Through our creative events and innovative programming, we bring together artists and experts to dream, collaborate, inspire, and cultivate the movement together.
