Membership information & contact

Membership of commission4mission is open to any Christian artist (of any discipline) or supporter of Christian Art. commission4mission promotes the purchase of artworks by churches through donations given in memory of loved ones, with these people being commemorated in plaques placed (wherever possible) on or near the artwork itself. All commissions undertaken by commission4mission involve a significant proportion of the overall cost being donated to charity.

For more information about joining commission4mission, commissioning work or hosting an exhibition, please contact Jonathan Evens (Secretary) on 020 8599 2170 or jonathan.evens@btinternet.com.

Projects

commission4mission created an Art Trail for the Barking Episcopal Area within the Diocese of Chelmsford. Click here for further information and a leaflet about the Art Trail.

Run with the Fire was an arts project for the 2012 Olympic year organised by CANA, commission4mission and Veritasse based on the image of fire which links the Church's Pentecost celebration with that of the Olympic runner. Run with the Fire provides a digital art exhibition for use in Olympic-themed events and can be purchased by clicking here.

Mark of the Cross features 20 poetic meditations on Christ's journey to the cross and reactions to his resurrection and ascension (images by Henry Shelton and words by Jonathan Evens).

The Passion: Reflections and Prayer features pictures, poems and prayers by Henry Shelton and Jonathan Evens which enable us to follow Jesus on his journey to the cross reflecting both on the significance and the pain of that journey as we do so and published as a double-sided A3 sheet with all the images, haiku-like meditations and prayers laid out in sequence for ease of devotional use.
