ACE facilitates and encourages artists and faith communities to curate and exhibit works of art in places of worship. Contact the ACE office if you are an artist or member of a church community wanting to explore the potential of the visual arts in dialogue with religion.
Paul Bayley, a consultant to ACE, is currently working on a set of small touring exhibitions which will link into existing networks of churches and faith communities engaged in the visual arts. The initiative is kindly supported by the Jerusalem Trust.
