“It was the first time I realized that painting could capture the Word of God, speak into people’s lives and give me the opportunity to share my faith.”

BLOG

Every day all around the globe, artists on mission are creating, cultivating, and contributing in their communities. As they seek to see their art used in the work the Lord is doing, we want to share their stories to encourage and inspire.
This blog is a place to read those stories, giving you a glimpse into how the Lord is using the arts around the world.

In March, we were thrilled to award an Artist Grant to two Inspiro artists.

We are privileged to share this article that was recently published in Grace Go Bloom's magazine. The article tells the story of an Incarnate graduate, Heidi Salzwedel, and her experience during the program. Incarnate 2022 is happening currently, and we are praying for many more stories like Heidi's. 

If you found yourself on the canals in Chirk, Wales earlier this month, you might have seen an interesting site – seven artists aboard a canal boat, painting, chatting, and sailing. The seven women – from Wales, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Nigeria – hired a 21-meter (69 foot) boat and were on a mission to share the hope of the gospel through art.

In today's Archive Wednesday, read about an HSI trip to the UK to encourage North African believers.
