Genesis 1:1 - God communicates Himself as creator first. John 1:1 - In fact, a creator in community. Genesis 1:27 - God made people in His image. For artists, the image of a creator.
Artists are made to bear the image of God, bringing glory to Him through those acts and to do so in community.
When they do, there is great intention by God and impact through them. Which we believe is why in Exodus 31 an artist was the first human to be indwelled with the Holy Spirit.
Creating work through their practices, in community, filled with The Spirit, artists can provide means for people to have unique encounters with the divine. This provision is not God’s only provision for His people to hear from Him nor is it elevated above other means, as the Word (His Son Jesus Christ) is His primary provision for the illumination of His character and desire. However, though not elevated, the arts are a unique and valuable part of God's provision to illuminate Himself to mankind and history.
