Christians in the Visual Arts (CIVA) describes its goal as helping "artists, collectors, critics, professors, historians, pastors and arts professionals explore the relationship between art and faith."[1] It was founded in 1979.[2] CIVA is described as an organization that promotes art "worth showing, sharing, and talking about."[3] CIVA publishes "Seen" magazine.[2]

CIVA is the "premier" visual arts organization working to enhance and explore the relationship between Christian faith and the visual arts.[4][5] It co-curates and co-sponsors traveling art exhibitions.[6][7]
