Christianity & the Visual Arts in Indonesia
June 8-23, 2008
The Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), the Nagel Institute, and the Asian Christian Artists Association (ACAA), has selected a group of North American visual artists and their counterparts in the Asian/Pacific region to travel to Indonesia for a two week seminar and studio workshop in Indonesia, summer 2008. Together they will work to recognize and highlight the power of the visual arts as a Christian endeavor, and aim to inspire Christian visual artists in both North America and in Asia to express the new global character of Christianity.
Upon this seminar and studio’s completion, each participant will work on a piece of art or a written reflection on “The Many Languages of Faith in the Visual Arts” that responds to their time together. These works would be consolidated to produce a traveling visual arts exhibition featuring participants' work and an accompanying interpretive catalog.
