An Interesting Christian Art Event

Here's the text from an e-mail message I just got from Alex Radin, a Christian visual artist who uses his talents as a means of worship. I figured I'd pass the information on by means of this blog in order to help him to publicize his event.

A Brief Introduction to the Christian Arts Initiative

The specific purpose of this site (as well as a related web site known as ArtisticChristians.com) is to distribute information (including my initial proposal, progress reports and more) pertaining to the Christian Arts Initiative.

In addition to the various web pages which can currently be found at ArtisticChristians.com, I'd like to recommend that you visit one of my publicly accessible file folders in order to download several different documents which will help to more fully explain my vision for the Christian Arts Initiative. Here's a link to a folder containing PDF files pertaining to that project.
