ECVA’s mission is to encourage artists, individuals, congregations, and scholars to engage the visual arts in the spiritual life of the church. ECVA values the significance of images in spiritual formation and the development of faith, and creates programs to support those who are engaged in using the visual arts in the spiritual life.

ECVA’s website has long been a key feature of their work. They have had 17 online exhibitions, all of which can be found on the ECVA website at www.ecva.org. Other online resources include a registry of ECVA artists, articles on artwork from individual churches, and information about multimedia events.

If you are an Episcopal artist and are interested in joining ECVA, or if you know a church that would like to host an ECVA event, please contact Krystyna Sanderson, Chair of ECVA New York Chapter, krystynaphotography@att.net.
