Henry Luce III Center for the Arts and Religion

Wesley Theological Seminary serves future Christian leaders – aspiring ministers, professionals, and young people, who yearn for a prophetic voice in the public square and who seek a theological foundation for a life of service and meaning.

The Henry Luce III Center for the Arts and Religion (LCAR) Artist-In-Residence (A-I-R) Program seeks to integrate the arts into theological education, and consequently into the life of the church. The particular structure of our A-I-R program as well as the diversity of artists and mediums represented is unique in the country, and possibly the world. Here, artists are given the opportunity to create in an environment rich in theological understanding, open to the diverse languages of the senses, and committed to collaboration between artists, scholars, and students.
