Art & Photography
If
you like art and photography, you may be interested in
putting on, or getting some of your friends or fellow art &
photography students to help you put on, a social justice
art show.
You could
put up posters (which we’d be more than happy to make for
you, if you’d like) asking other artists, photographers,
sculptors, etc... to submit work for display or sale that
reflects the need overseas, need for Jesus, need for help,
and even, specifically the needs being met by the Love
Maputo Project in Mozambique.
You could get permission from your
school to set it up in a lobby or hall, a high traffic area
where you know you’d attract attention of the students. We
could get you some pamphlets to have set out and a free copy
of the mini documentary of the ongoing work in Mozambique to
have playing. You may be able to swing getting chapel credit
for the event.
Some of the artists could sell their
work (if they wish) to raise money to help feed, clothe, and
save these kids. You could also easily set out a donation
jar for people attending with a suggested donation of a
dollar or so. Every little bit helps.
If you snap some pictures of the
event, get some quotes, or even video clips, we’d love to
put it on JESUSpolitik.com as an activism story to fire up
more people to use their art for God.
Do Something Special with YOUR Art & Photography!
If you think God can't use artists, think again! Some of the most influential people in the Bible were artists! Solomon painted and overlaid altars in gold and precious gems; he carved beautiful flowers in the temple he built for God. The Lord used his art mightily to touch other people. He can use your art too, if you're willing!
