About the Bellevue Arts Collective:

We are a community of painters, poets, writers, musicians, photographers, craftsmen, etc… who believe that as image-bearers of Christ, we are called and commissioned to fill the earth with good and beautiful things that bring God glory. The purpose of this group is to explore how we can equip and spur one another on as makers to unearth truth, build community, and use our artistic gifts correctly and effectively to captivate the heart and mind of a world in desperate need of a direct relationship with its Creator.

“When Christians abandon the artistic community, we lose a significant opportunity to communicate Christ to our culture as art has tremendous power to indeed shape culture and touch the human heart.” (Ryken, “Art for God’s Sake: A Call to Recover the Arts” 14)
