Creo: to create in Latin
ABOUT US
We inspire, connect, and equip missionaries of beauty — forming communities where art and faith flourish.
Rooted in the gospel and held together by a shared faith, Creo Arts is a national nonprofit ministry devoted to awakening the world to the beauty of the Christian story through the arts. We gather artists, patrons, and communities to be formed, inspired, and sent—participating together in the creative work God is already doing. Since 2022, we have supported diverse artistic projects that have touched communities across more than twenty states.
Though our backgrounds and art forms differ, we are united by a common faith in God the Father—the Maker of all things, visible and invisible—and by a shared way of life that shapes how we create, serve, and live in the world.
If this vision awakens something in you, we invite you to join us as a missionary of beauty.
We live in a world where people are looking for purpose and the meaning of life. Art has the power to touch people’s hearts and minds. One of the ways that we can bring hope to our world that is searching for answers, is through the arts.
Creo Arts is a Christian nonprofit organization that exists to bring the beauty of the gospel to local communities across the nation through the arts. The word Creo means to “create” in Latin, and it means “I believe” in Spanish. We believe beauty will save the world.
Since 2023, we have helped start a wide range of art initiatives in 15 different states. We are honored to have a strategic partnership with Belmont University’s Creative Arts Collective to offer grants for art projects that tell the Christianity story for a new generation.
Vision
Our vision is to inspire beauty, goodness and truth through the arts.
What We Do
We seek to fulfill our mission in three ways:
Cultivate
We come alongside artists, patrons, churches and faith-based organizations to cultivate community and start a wide range of art initiatives including art guilds, galleries, traveling art exhibits, and events.
Commission
We commission artists who specialize in a wide range of mediums to create works that tell the Christian story for a new generation, which includes the opportunity to apply for grants that can be awarded to support their projects.
Create
We create thoughtfully curated content that supports our vision, and promotes a new renaissance of Christianity and the arts including articles, books, short films, training resources and other forms of media.
