	About the Visio Divina Program Spiritual Formation through Visual Arts Inception: 2005 Visio Divina is a division of : Episcopal Church and Visual Arts, Inc. (www.ecva.org) 815 Second Avenue New York, NY 10017
	Visio Divina Program Goals 1) the development of programming that prompts participants to deepen their living spirituality through sharing the experiences of those who regularly integrate art and faith; 2) assisting communities who are beginning to use art in faith formation; and 3) matching funds from the program's major donor, Trinity Grants Program in Spiritual Formation, with an equivalent amount through additional grants, donations, and volunteer hours.
	Visio Divina Program Approaches 1) affirming the arts and the artists in our communities; 2) exploring methods for discovering and viewing visual arts as they relate to spiritual formation; 3) developing and testing a program model that employs a sustained program of intentional reflection on the meaning received through the sense of sight; and 4) strengthen the Visio Divina staff’s understanding of the qualities and quantities of successful grantseeking.
