CIVA 2009 Biennial Conference
As artists, critics, theologians, pastors, historians, curators, art educators and patrons we must re-examine the complex relationship between art, faith, and culture. How should Christians in the visual arts engage with culture (or cultures)? Are we called to critique or appropriate? Transform of transcend? The way that we speak and think about culture(s) radically affects everything from how artists make their work to the valuations of collectors, from our casual "art talk" to our formal scholarship.
Join us June 18-21 at Bethel University in Minneapolis, MN for a freshly designed, highly interactive event and come put your stamp on this CIVA conversation.
