Engage Art

Engage Art Engage Culture, Engage Scripture, and Engage Art. Visit engageart.org to learn more about Engage Art. Engage Art seeks to transform culture through art.

We showcase original Scripture-inspired art from artists across the world to inspire everyone to take time to Engage Culture, Engage Scripture, and Engage Art. More specifically, we want to support artists, both personally and professionally, and we want to shift the culture from division to unity both inside and outside the church. Four big goals power this vision:
• To reintroduce artists to Scr

ipture as a source of inspiration;
• To transform people through art as it portrays Scripture in ways that touch the soul;
• To remind the church of the value and purpose of artists and their art; and
• To encourage people to establish a lifelong daily habit of reading, reflecting on, and responding to Scripture.

Congratulations to Columbus, Ohio–based Bible Cluster Facilitators Mah Leah and Jennifer McCracken on launching Ohio’s second in person Bible Cluster, adding to our growing community of in-person Bible Clusters around the world! 🎉

In partnership with Creekside Christian Church, artist and art lovers gather to pray, read Scripture, and create art inspired by God’s Word.

Each Bible Cluster may look different, but the heart remains the same: gathering around Scripture and praying for one another.

Want to experience a Bible Cluster? Join us this Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET for our only online Bible Cluster, featuring artist and 2026 Engage Art Contest Honorable Mention winner Steve Prince!

Fun fact: At the heart of this artwork, “Native Tongue,” is a deeply personal tribute.

In the center of a busy church scene, a young child sits playing with building blocks while a mother gently places her hand upon his head. The child represents Steve A. Prince (the artist)with his own mother, who taught to love himself and his neighbor.

Inspired by 1 Peter 3:8–9, “Native Tongue” reflects on unity, compassion, humility, and the calling to respond to hostility with blessing rather than retaliation.
For Steve, that calling carries particular urgency in a time marked by division..
The artwork invites us to consider how faith is passed from one generation to another and how each of us can participate in building communities shaped by peace, love, and restoration.

Join Steve and facilitator Ranika Chaney as they explore the personal story, biblical foundation, and visual language behind this 2026 Engage Art Contest Honorable Mention work.

What's the biggest obstacle keeping you from creating right now?

We’d love to hear from you. Creative block doesn't always come from a lack of ideas.

Sometimes it's a busy schedule.
Sometimes it's fear of making something imperfect.
Sometimes it's simply not having anyone to help you stay accountable.
Whatever the reason, you're probably not alone.

Share your answer in the comments.

You may encourage another artist simply by being honest.
And if making time has been the challenge, Accountability Art Lab was created with that in mind.

Waiting can feel like nothing is happening. Scripture reminds us that something important may still be growing beneath the silence: a steady heart.

Today’s verse shows us that biblical patience is not passive resignation. It is the decision to remain faithful when the answer has not arrived, trusting that God is still present and His timing is still purposeful.

What is God forming in you while you wait?

Engaging with Scripture four or more days a week can have a profound impact on spiritual growth.

Meet 2026 Engage Art Contest Honorable Mention recipient Steve A. Prince!

Steve is the Director of Engagement and Distinguished Artist in Residence at the Muscarelle Museum of Art at William & Mary. A master printmaker, gifted educator, and self-described ‘art evangelist,” he uses images to carry messages of truth, hope, and renewal into individuals and communities.

At the heart of his artistic philosophy is the New Orleans Jazz Funeral tradition.
The funeral begins with the Dirge, a mournful procession that creates space to acknowledge grief, suffering, and loss. After the body is laid to rest, the music changes. The procession becomes the Second Line, a celebration of new life and hope beyond what has been lost.

For Steve, this movement from mourning to celebration offers a way for communities to confront painful histories and present struggles without allowing those realities to have the final word.

Through printmaking and teaching, he invites people to move through the Dirge together so they can begin imagining and building a Second Line while they are still alive.

Join Steve and facilitator Ranika Chaney for a community conversation about the faith, history, and spiritual vision behind his work. This one isn’t to be missed.

Some days, faith looks less like certainty and more like refusing to surrender your ground.

Today’s Scripture gives us four clear instructions: stay alert, remain rooted, choose courage, and draw strength from God. Courage is not pretending fear is absent. It is deciding that fear will not have the final word.

Where is God asking you to stand firm today?

Engaging with Scripture four or more days a week can have a profound impact on spiritual growth.

It is easy to pray for the people we love. Jesus asks us to pray for the people who make love difficult.

Today’s Scripture does not ask us to excuse harm or abandon healthy boundaries. It challenges us to keep resentment from transforming us into what wounded us. Prayer places both the offense and the offender in God’s hands—and keeps bitterness from taking root in ours.

Whose name is difficult for you to bring before God today?

Engaging with Scripture four or more days a week can have a profound impact on spiritual growth.
