Art & Faith Websites

Art House America- Founded in 1991 by Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock (Ashworth), the Art House in Nashville, TN, quickly emerged as a unique artistic hub for rich hospitality, conversations of consequence, and imaginative creativity. Though no longer open to the public, the Art House America location in Nashville enjoyed a long history of hosting thousands of students, artists, writers, academics, theologians, cultural investors, and leaders in the entertainment industry. For two decades, the Art House America location in Nashville was at the heart of advocacy for imaginative creativity, everywhere and in everything. Resources are still available through the blog.

Art & Theology- The mission of Art & Theology is to help the church rediscover its rich heritage in the visual, literary, and musical arts and to open it up to the activity of contemporary artists, whose giftings can enable us to see God in new and different ways. Art can enhance our spiritual perception, enrich our prayer lives, stimulate renewed engagement with the Bible, make us more empathetic, challenge our beliefs in a healthy way, and bring us into more intimate contact with the world. Art testifies; it questions; it holds accountable; it stirs and reveals.

We stand on the Gospel and exist for the church.
