Questions About Art Ministry or Religious Art in General:

    2. Are there artworks that shouldn't be exhibited in a church art show?
    3. Should artists be allowed to sell their work out of a church?
    4. Where should people hang a church art exhibit?
    5. Is your art ministry . . . Christian?

    Questions About Art and Christianity:

        Remember your Creator...

        Description of Illustration: scriptures "Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken as the well.
