The Religion, Spirituality, and the Arts (RSA) is a program of Herron School of Art + Design that brings together artists, religious leaders, religious communities, humanities experts, and a broad range of people from diverse backgrounds and disciplinary perspectives for sustained study, analysis, and discussions of religious texts in a seminar environment.

These textual discussions explore the varieties of religious experience and understanding and inspire new artistic works (e.g. music, poetry, fiction, drama, visual art, dance). Artists share their creations through exhibitions and presentations to members of the Central Indiana community, including religious organizations, congregations, schools, libraries, and community groups. 

RSA programming fosters a respectful and stimulating environment designed to foster creativity, and participants engage with world-class faculty from across disciplines. Special recognition and thanks go to the Lilly Endowment and Herbert Simon Family Foundation for their generous support of the program and participating artists.
