Mission & Vision
The Mission:
The Continuum is a local community of Christian artists seeking growth through camaraderie with like-minded individuals who share a passion for the creative expression of the Imago Dei, the ability to find pleasure in the transcendent, and a desire to influence culture with culture through acts of creative excellence.
Core Values:
- Camaraderie - Isolated individuals are despairing, ineffective and despondent; in so much we wish to connect artists that they might find the hopefulness necessary to continue to create with praise to God.
- Excellence - We assert that quality is important: acts of excellence are acts of worship. Therefore, we despise compromise and mediocrity and promote a perpetual sharpening and growth through ongoing discussion, encouragement, nurture and constructive critique.
- Holism - We dare to explore the blurred boundaries of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty especially as each informs and defines the other two; we believe that to diminish one is to diminish them all.
- Influence - Art is powerful. We seek to leverage its power as a tool to rehumanize the individual, impact the community, and radically change culture and the world at large.
- Educate - Because art and beauty are essential components of humanity and an undivided worldview, we endeavor to reveal the magnitude of each and affirm the need for a sophisticated and discerning aesthetic.
- Patronship - We seek to support and find supporters for the arts, by offering opportunities for artists to express and expand their respective voices.
