REVELATIONS OF THE ARTIST
Insights on Art and Faith
Revelations of the Artist, curated by ArtServe International, represents a collective effort by visual artists and writers to share profound insights about their Christian faith and artistic journeys. This book serves as a unique space where personal narratives unfold, providing readers with an intimate exploration of the intricate connections between creativity and spirituality.
Visual artists and writers alike invite readers to go beyond the surface of finished artworks. They delve into the motivations, challenges, and inspirations that shape their creative work. This book opens a window into the diverse and nuanced stories behind the art, providing a richer understanding of the profound bond between artistic expression and the revelations of each artist’s faith experience.
The artists' contribution to this collective endeavor speaks to a shared dedication to fostering inspiration and connection through the transformative power of art and Christ-centered faith. Each contributor, whether visual artist or writer, brings a unique perspective, contributing to a rich tapestry of stories that celebrate the myriad ways in which faith and creativity intersect.
ROTA is also a juried annual publication that invites artists of the Christian faith to submit their work through an open Call for Artists. From these submissions, 25 artists are selected to be featured. While the publication is unified as a single volume, each artist is featured on 100 copies with their artwork showcased on the cover. The project is funded through crowd-sourced pre-sales, and upon the campaign's successful completion, each featured artist is awarded $1,000 in credit that can be used towards ROTA books and/or retreats.
Additionally, Revelations of the Artist transcends the confines of a book; part of the proceeds support ArtServe International, an arts ministry providing opportunities for artists to serve communities in need through their gifts and talents. Lastly, ROTA provides annual artist retreats where artists can rest, create, and grow in community.
