ProvArts
Empowering and unifying the collaboration and creative expression of artists across the Philadelphia area and community of Providence Church, toward the faith, hope and love of Jesus Christ.
our mission
ProvArts (Providence Artists Initiative) is a collaboration local to Philadelphia, PA designed to empower artists, both within a church community and otherwise, to bridge the gap between denominations, cultural backgrounds, better one another in the process, and bring unity by creating something beautiful together. We believe in the human and the divine responsibility to tell our stories and wield well our power to shape culture. We also believe each of us are transformed for the best when we stretch out to work together.
Our prayer is to be a force of influence in the arts through writing, dance, music, film, production, fine art, comedy and beyond, for the Kingdom of Heaven. We invite artists to participate with us in taking responsibility for the Gospel in our lives - the faith, hope, and love of Jesus Christ, by creating space where others can find community through collaboration, and our Creator through creativity, impacting the world with what we produce together. Wherever you are on your journey, we welcome and seek to empower you.

The ProvArts branding can be interpreted in a few ways. One, a vessel can represent the life of an artist, who can creatively bring God’s kingdom forth through art. Two, a vessel or alabaster jar is made by a creator, carefully crafted for a purpose. And three, the flowing lines and curves represent the ebb and flow of paint or musical instruments — through this abstract representation, we can feel the movement of art and how it can speak to us spiritually.
The colors represent the vibrancy of creation. The sun or sunset, flowers in a field, waves of the ocean, etc. We are inspired to create because of our Creator, using the endless palette He has given us.
