The History is a simple one, and one that is still being written.

It started simply as one man’s calling to paint clouds and put them in crosses, and another man’s desire to help fund that calling.

Several long walks along the shores of Laguna Beach, many coffees and Chai, and meetings at the artist studio, slowly revealed a different vision. Piece by piece, the corporate vision took form as a vehicle that could benefit the community of faith based visual arts.

From a concern raised in hearing the laments of artists who wished to use their gifts as a form of worship, but weren’t sure how, and if sure, had no educational or financial support from their church or parish or synagogue, the Foundation for the Biblical Arts went forward with becoming a 501(c)3 non profit art and educational organization, with an idea to help.

The FBA is an organization born to inspire artists whom love God as reveled in the Bible - and to help illuminate those of the faith who, though not artists themselves, appreciate the visual arts, and know little about art as it relates to praise or worship.

July of 2002, the Foundation for the Biblical Arts became an official Non Profit Corporation.

August, 2002, the Art Support Program of the FBA was launched with the co-sponsoring of the art show, “CLOUD FORMS divine mystery”. This show made available the first paintings by artist Jeff LeFever in preparation for the Freedom ART Project.

This is the simple history, and only the beginning.
