A renewal of the Christian tradition will never take place through ideas alone but needs to be accompanied by a riot of song, dance, literature and the arts.”
– CRAIG BARTHOLOMEW
ArtWay is a UNESCO-Digital Heritage designated website founded by Marleen Hengelaar-Rookmaaker, the daughter of the celebrated Dutch art historian, Hans Rookmaaker. KLC took over the English face of ArtWay in 2023, re-designing and expanding the website’s already expansive library of resources.
On ArtWay you will find articles exploring the theological dimensions of art, along with resources for use in churches and small groups, book reviews, reading lists and much more.
With ArtWay we want to help people access the rich religious and spiritual dimensions of art. We also seek to equip churches and people of faith to incorporate art into their teaching, reading of Scripture, prayer, and worship.
Recent decades have witnessed a renewed interest in the theological, religious and spiritual dimensions of art. Our arts research hub will provide a platform for scholars in the arts to pursue their work in a likeminded community, infused with the KLC ethos.
Please note that these pages are in the process of being updated and we may not yet have consulted with the relevant chairs about the content of their Hub page. Please be patient with us; updates are ongoing.

Through in-person and online events (in Cambridge in particular) we aim to facilitate illuminating conversations around the arts that (1) help artists find meaning and support in their work, and (2) help non-artists engage actively with the arts in order to gain greater enrichment from the arts. The natural outflow of being enriched by the arts is a greater support for and participation in the arts within our communities. We also seek to provide an opportunity for artists to share their work on a public platform, in settings where the arts are in conversation with one another.
