Summer Institute in Spirituality and the Arts

The Summer Institute in Spirituality and the Arts provides a place to expand our awareness and knowledge about the intersections of art and religion.

Explorations in Creativity, Worship, and Faith 1 Participants are offered an opportunity to explore the intersections of art and religion in their personal lives and faith communities.
