A Place for Artists
For over three decades, the Luce Center has hosted artists in residence who have plumbed the intersections of art and religion in varied ways, while contributing to our exhibitions, permanent collection, and teaching. Artists have come from a variety of backgrounds, including many different faith traditions. We value diversity in all forms, and seek to support emerging artists from underrepresented communities, while also providing opportunities for our community to engage with established artists of international reputation.
