Artist’s Advent is a four-week journey of reflection, creativity, and hope designed for artists, creatives, and the families who support them. This season can feel rushed, heavy, or overwhelming, and often the creative soul is the first to feel stretched thin. Artist’s Advent invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and make room for the presence of Christ in the midst of it all.
Advent teaches us that God often works in the quiet, in the unseen, and in the “not yet.” It’s a season that mirrors the creative process itself: the waiting before the work is finished, the longing for beauty, the hope that rises slowly like dawn. Artists understand this rhythm instinctively, and families walk alongside it every day.
Through scripture, gentle reflections, and simple creative prompts, Artist’s Advent helps us enter the story of Jesus with imagination and wonder. It’s for the painter and the musician, the filmmaker and the parent, the writer and the one who simply loves beauty. It’s for anyone longing to experience the message of Advent in a deeper, more tangible way.
Why are we doing it?
Because we believe creativity is a spiritual practice.
Because artists need space to be formed, not just inspired.
Because families need rhythms that unite them around hope, not hurry.
Because Advent is not just a countdown, it's an invitation to see Christ breaking into our world again and again.
Artist’s Advent is our way of preparing room in our homes, in our stories, in our art for the Light that is coming.

VISIO DIVINA GALLERY
The Annunciation (c.1485-92) by Sandro Botticelli. 19.1x31.4cm. Tempera and gold on wood. Click to enlarge image.
The Annunciation is a prolific painting by Italian artist, Sandro Botticelli. This depiction of the Annunciation unfolds in a classic architectural interior from a single point perspective to create an illusion of depth, which was a technique used in early fifteenth century Florence. A row of pillars divides the space occupied by the Angel Gabriel from the intimate bed chamber of the Virgin, who kneels in humility as she receives the divine message. This panel was almost certainly commissioned as a private devotional image, and not as part of a larger work. The identity of the patron is unknown.
