Artist Cultivation Program
Turn your artistic aspirations into a reality
What is the Artist Cultivation Program (ACP)?
Step into the Artist Cultivation Program (ACP), a welcoming place for artists on a journey of spiritual, creative, and professional growth. As part of Christos Collective, the ACP is your invitation to turn your artistic aspirations into reality.
Twice a year, join a small group of fellow artists for four months of shared goals, monthly meetings, and support through the highs and lows of the artistic life. Together, let's foster intentionality in our art practice and encourage each other as we pursue our dreams.
Do I have to live in Colorado to participate?
No, you don’t have to live in Colorado to participate in the ACP! We have Christos artists in Florida, Maine, New Mexico, South Carolina… You get the picture. Both Christos Collective and the ACP are happy to welcome artists from anywhere there’s an internet connection.

“I liked the companionship and the group’s wisdom for solving problems.
I liked that I could learn from what they do.”
From August 2021 through November 2023, Christos Collective members have now participated in five rounds of the Artist Cultivation Program. In each round, participants continue to learn, grow, develop meaningful relationships, and see their opportunities expand.
We look forward to another wonderful year in 2024 and trust God to continue to lead us personally and as a group to embrace our vocation as ambassadors of the Holy Spirit and impact culture through our art and art practice.
I’d like to join. What do I do next?
If you’re interested in joining an ACP group, your next step is to apply for membership. Application for membership is always open and we love meeting with artists to share what it means to be a part of Christos Collective. You’ll have the opportunity to join a group after becoming a Christos member. The ACP runs twice a year with new sessions beginning each January and July.
