Vermont Conference on Christianity & the Arts

The goal of the Vermont Conference on Christianity and the Arts is to build community among artists of faith in Vermont (and nearby) and to encourage good and thoughtful art deeply rooted in a Christian view of the world.

To support that goal, in addition to our larger fall conference, we're offering stand-alone workshops that explore specific topics in greater depth than is possible in a conference setting.

Perhaps you’re a fan of the arts—a reader of poetry or prose, an appreciator of paintings and photographs, a lover of music or theater. Perhaps an amateur artist. Or perhaps a practicing artist looking to improve your craft or to think about your work from a Christian perspective. Maybe you want to incorporate arts into ministry, or to support and encourage artists around you. Wherever your interest in the arts lies, this conference has something for you. We seek to bring together intellect and heart and craft. Breakout workshops explore a variety of topics and genres, offering both hands-on craft workshops and discussions of art: sessions for working artists as well as for those interested in a deeper appreciation and understanding of the arts from a perspective of Christian faith.
