Faith-Inspired Art Exhibitions <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Westhill Endowment are primarily a grant-giving Trust, accepting applications from projects with Christian values which seek to see communities thriving, individual lives fulfilled, and which foster education, empathy and dialogue. Westhill have particular interests in religious education, community transformation, interfaith dialogue and the arts.<\/p>\n

Westhill\u2019s interest in the arts has led to the development of their touring exhibition scheme, CreateTalk<\/em>, which includes 8 stunning faith-inspired collections of art. The exhibitions aim to encourage conversations, enable reflections and inspire action. They have the potential to enrich community engagement in real and meaningful ways, covering a variety of themes and using different forms of art.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>The beauty of these collections of art,\u201d says Westhill\u2019s Exhibitions Coordinator, \u201cIs that they have the ability to meet people where they are in their own life journey. They don\u2019t make presumptions about the viewer. They don\u2019t tell you what to think or how to feel. They give you space to ponder and reflect. They provoke thoughts and conversations. They have the potential to inspire new thinking and positive action.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Westhill\u2019s exhibitions are available to venues within the UK, free of charge, and while Westhill provide practical ideas and materials to be used alongside the exhibition they do not prescribe how they are used, that is up to the hosts to choose how to best tailor the experience to their own community.\u00a0 Each exhibition lends itself to many practical, artistic and reflective activities.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>For me each of these exhibitions culminate in the sense that we are complex and amazing beings, living in a complex and amazing world. We are not made up of one moment or one experience in our lives, but we are multi-faceted, and sometimes a bit messy! We are an ever-changing culmination of our own experiences; and how we respond to things outside of ourselves, to people, to God, and to change, reflects that. These exhibitions, each in their own way, show me that we can move forwards positively embracing the life around us. We can use our experiences, even in the midst of them, to know God more fully, to take better care of ourselves, of others, and of the world we live in.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
