ReNew York is a ministry that follows God to love artists and create transcendent work in community. We strive to bring healthy spirituality to those who create culture in this world, to honor people who were made in the image of their Creator, and to cultivate the earth in this modern context.
Arts Alliance
Our Arts Alliance is a group of artists who’ve specifically decided on a deeper investment in ReNew York. They’ve committed to connecting with each other, making excellent art, and living missionally in their industries — and we’ve committed to investing in their creative callings! We wanted to highlight these amazing people who give us support and structure.
