Art and artists have a place in the life and worship of the Christian community. Our God is a creative God who made physical matter with substance, function, and beauty. He gave man the ability to be creative, honoring Him with the objects of beauty we make. Art that reflects truths about our Lord and our faith in physical form, gives us tangible encouragement, help us focus on and trust in what we cannot see, and allows us to expand on our understanding of Biblical truth.
The Visual Arts Ministry seeks to develop a community within PBCC of folks who make and/or care about the visual arts, and through that community to bring the visual arts into the life and worship of the whole PBCC Body.

NEXT EXHIBIT: And God was With Us, a group exhibit of artwork created by members of the PBCC Body. November 15, 2020 – January 3, 2021
If you are interested in submitting art for this show, please look at the Call for Art presented below.
CALL FOR ART: And God was With Us
This exhibit will take place during the 2020 Advent Season and will feature art that reflects on the times and occasions in 2020 when the participating artists will have been aware of God’s presence and working in their lives. Interested artists are encouraged to create their artist responses to these moments during or shortly after they occur. The current COVID-19 crisis will surely be a time when many of us will be experiencing Immanuel – God with us.
PBCC folk of all ages – children of any age, middle and high schoolers, and adults – are invited to create art for this exhibit.
The dates of the exhibit are November 15, 2020 – January 3, 2021. If the PBCC campus is not yet open when the exhibit is scheduled to begin, it will be presented in an online format. Please do not let this possibility discourage you from submitting your artwork for this exhibit; many artists are currently showing their work very effectively online.
More information can be found in the Call for Art which can be read or downloaded here. The Artist Agreement form is included in the Call but it can also be filled out and submitted online here.
