"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." - Matthew 5:14-15

Keith Haring (1958-1990) was an American artist and activist whose bold, energetic figures became some of the most recognizable images of 1980s contemporary art. Emerging from New York City’s street and subway art scene, Haring used public spaces to make art accessible to everyone, often addressing themes of love, community, sexuality, inequality, and the AIDS crisis. His work blended pop art, graffiti, and activism, creating visual language that was playful while also deeply political. Even after his death in 1990 from AIDS-related complications, Haring’s art continues to influence artists, activists, and public art movements around the world.

"As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax-collection station, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with Jesus and his disciples." - Matthew 9:9-10

George Dudley (1951-1993) was an American photographer, artist, and archivist whose work documented LGBTQ+ life in New York City during the 1970s through the 1990s. He was the first director of the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art and helped preserve q***r cultural history while also photographing Pride marches, protests, nightlife, and everyday community life from within the movement itself. His photographs are notable for their intimacy, showing early Pride not as spectacle but as a radical act of visibility, joy, and belonging.

"When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability." - Acts 2:1-4

Soichi Watanabe (1949-) is a Japanese painter and educator from Koshigaya City, Saitama, whose work is deeply shaped by his Christian faith and vocation as an artist. After earning an economics degree from Tohoku Gakuin University and later graduating from Ochanomizu Art School in 1982, he founded a private art school with his wife, where they continue teaching others the joy of art. Watanabe’s spiritual journey began during college through a home Bible study that led him to commit his life to God and to understand his painting as a form of discipleship and praise.
