- **Event Name**: Illuminate: Arts and Faith Conference
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 23 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 am – Tue, 24 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Author and theologian Frederick Buechner famously wrote, “Pay attention to the things that bring a tear to your eye or a lump in your throat because they are signs that the holy is drawing near.”

Paintings, poetry, music, and other creative mediums hold strong potential to do just that – to indirectly communicate powerful truths, many of which have eternal consequences. Are we open to what they're telling us? Will we utilize these tools to share important stories (including The Story) with others?

Join Plough editor Maureen Swinger and many other speakers and attendees for two rich days of education, inspiration, and community, exploring the intersections of arts and faith through presentations, performances, workshops, and conversations over meals.
