About Us

The Center for Liturgical Art is committed to creating art for worship and witness, while advocating for visual arts in Christian life and practice. We strive to share the importance of ecclesiastical art and the impact it has on our lives as Christians.

About the Process

We specialize in custom and site-specific artwork. This means that every project we work on is different. Our process may vary from piece to piece but the initial steps will always be the same. Get in contact with us! We are more than happy to discuss any creative ideas with you either over the phone or by email or in person.

History of the CLA

The Center for Liturgical Art was established in 2003 as a result of the vision of Reinhold Marxhausen, and the focused efforts of Ken Schmidt and the Lange family to create a program capable of spreading the Gospel through art while allowing students the opportunities to learn about what it means to be an artist in the Church.
