ABOUT ASP
How We Work
Art and Sacred Places has three main strands
to its work:
- Inspirational and enriching permanent commissions
- Challenging and innovative temporary commissions
- Stimulating and mutually beneficial interfaith projects
Who We Are
Art and Sacred Places is a unique national
visual arts organisation which specialises in commissioning leading and
emerging artists to make new works of contemporary art in response to
sacred sites and their communities. Art and Sacred Places aims to stimulate debate
about meaning and spirituality through the conjunction of contemporary
art and faith.
Art and Sacred Places' work is based on the conviction
that art and religion share fundamental concerns and explore similar territory,
albeit in significantly different ways. Art and Sacred Places is non-denominational and
embraces all religions. It celebrates and encourages the interaction of
art and religion.
Art and Sacred Places works alongside faith communities,
arts organisations, local government, architects, developers and environmentalists
for an enriching and professional creative experience.
Mission Statement

contemporary artists for sacred places
