Active from 2000 to 2010, Art and Sacred Places celebrated and encouraged the interaction of art and religion by commissioning artists to make work in sacred places. While exploring and illuminating the relationship between contemporary art and spirituality, it found new audiences for art and challenging new spaces for artists. Art and Sacred Places’ work was based on the conviction that art and religion share fundamental concerns and explore similar territory, albeit in significantly different ways.
Art and Sacred Places was an independent trust formed under the auspices of the Rt. Revd. John Gladwin, Bishop of Guildford, the Charity’s President.
