ART EXPO

Art of Faith loves music and visual art. During the festival weekend, there will be another kick-off of an art exhibition in Bornem Abbey. The expo will be on display in the abbey throughout May and the theme of the exhibition for this edition is ‘Coming home’.

The Art of Faith Festival aims to be a place where Christians can come home to live their faith. In day-to-day life, many Christians feel alone in their work, at school and other places in society. The Art of Faith Festival therefore wants to give people of all ages and from all Christian backgrounds a warm welcome, as well as build them up and encourage them in faith and then send them out into the world to be the light. In this way, the festival aims to be a testimony to unity among Christians.

The theme ‘Coming home’ will evoke different associations for everyone. Coming home can be in a physical place, a place in nature, or with a person. As believers, we may also come home to God. What does coming home mean to you? How would you capture it? Get inspired by the theme and submit your artwork. Various art forms can be submitted such as paintings, ceramics, glass art, conceptual etc. From the submissions, a selection will be made for the art exhibition.

ART BRUNCH

Art of Faith Festival is all about art and faith. Christians come to enjoy the talents of musicians, visual artists, actors, dancers and word artists. Many of these artists are on the playing field between the safe Christian world and the secular world. Some artists have like-minded people around them, but many Christian artists feel alone. Art of Faith Festival therefore creates a number of moments at the festival where artists can meet and receive equipping and encouragement to create art from Christian identity.
