A Reflection on the Art in the Church Workshop

Sara Schumacher has posted an interesting reflection on the Art in the Church workshop hosted online by Transpositions. In it she considers two recurring themes that emerged over the three weeks of rich and deep conversation via the workshop. Her two themes are diversity & the importance of context and art begetting creativity and innovation. She uses commission4mission as one example of "innovative and creative solutions to overcome one of the most commonly-mentioned challenges: the lack of money for the arts." Sara's reflection can be read by clicking here.
