About this listen

On this episode of the podcast, I have a live conversation with visual artist Matt Doll about art and faith. It’s a conversation that we got to have in front of a live audience of around 40 students. I found it energizing and inspiring, especially when Matt reads a poem part of the way through. Among the topics we discuss:

  • The sometimes fraught relationship between artists and the church and how we can do better
  • Why Christians may struggle with the arts
  • The relationship of creativity and limits
  • The process of making and whether it is more a matter of inspiration or "perspiration"
  • What artists need to hear from or about the church and what the church needs to hear from or about artists.

Matthew Doll is a painter, graphic designer, gallery director, and has been the Program Director of the Gordon IN Orvieto semester program since 2011.
