Christians in the Visual Arts (CIVA) is an American visual arts organization working to enhance and explore the relationship between Christian faith and the visual arts.[1][2] It was founded in 1979.[3]

Gallery instructor Jeremy Hamilton-Arnold describes CIVA's work as "Many of the artists involved [in CIVA] are making art worth showing, sharing, and talking about."[4] It publishes the Seen magazine,[3] and co-curates and co-sponsors traveling art exhibitions.[5][6]
