(PHOTOS) 5 Faiths Friday: Funding Creation
ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Tahlib
It was in the non-profit news this week that God got turned down for a grant to recreate humanity, and it was his second attempt! While the story is purely for laughs, fundraising is a perennial challenge in the world of the arts, and in today's secualrized environment for the arts, it's an even bigger challenge for those engaged in religious art & architecture. So, when I came across several funding stories that highlighted unique approaches, I decided that "Funding" would be the theme for my weekly picks of the week’s biggest religious art news stories and commentary.
