Reconciliation
IAM believes artists to be articulators of hope and integration in our broken culture. And yet we know today artists are known mostly for their rebellion, alienation, addiction and apathy. We aim to catalyze a movement of artists to be agents of cultural "Shalom." The Hebrew and Christian scriptures speak of Shalom as the wholeness and flourishing of human endeavors - possible through a true reconciliation between humanity, God's universe and Him.
The IAM conference, "Artist as Reconcilers" poised itself to provide a historic opportunity to cast a new vision:
Reconciliation of artists to themselves,
Reconciliation of artists with the Church,
Reconciliation of artists with God
With our vision, we desire to present artists as catalysts for creative peacemaking, responsible stewardship of nature, and inspiration for collaboration.
