Together we are CIVA.
A place where Christians passionate about God and the visual arts came together.
Since its founding in 1979, CIVA operated at the forefront of the art and faith movement, where its mission and community-building programs served and equipped generations of artists, pastors, and scholars worldwide with professionalism, grace, and hospitality. In 2023 CIVA transitioned into the final phase of its organizational life and closed its doors. Please refer to our FAQ page for more details about this transition.
