“Creating a work of art is not a harmless thing. It always is a powerful medium. Art is extraordinarily powerful and important. It challenges people’s lives.” ~ Chögyam Trungpa
“To send light into the darkness of men’s hearts – such is the duty of the artist.” ~ Schumann
There can be no doubt that the arts and entertainment industry plays a major role in shaping society. We see the influence of music, television & film, professional sports, and other art forms like dance, writing, etc. every day.
Starting with our youth, the arts speak to our hearts and mold our thinking in ways that are so powerful it can be amazing to see. From the Civil Rights to the Anti War movement in the 60’s and 70’s to today, its impact is significant.
Imagine disciples of Jesus Christ harnessing this power in our mission to make disciples of all nations; utilizing the talents and promoting the skill of Christian artists to influence society with the Word of God. Imagine how all the art forms, if done with skill and inpiration, can change our youth culture and mainstream society to bring Jesus’ message of hope and love to people in a way that stirs the heart and brings unprecidented change in people’s lives all over the world. Imagine what God can do!
