Arts & Music
Manhattan Cornerstone Artists Fellowship (MCAF)
To glorify God by showcasing talented faith-based artists and musicians, nurturing emerging voices, and celebrating established excellence in the sacred arts.
Our Vision
We believe that beauty, excellence, and faith are not in conflict—they are complementary. By investing in artists early and supporting them throughout their careers, we create a community where:
- Young talent is nurtured before the world discovers them
- Established artists find support for faith-centered work
- Audiences experience the transformative power of sacred arts
- God is glorified through human creativity at its finest
What We Do
Discover & Launch Emerging Talent
Through careful mentorship, performance opportunities, and fellowship, we help promising young artists develop their gifts before they become widely recognized. MCAF gives talented performers a place to share their work with audiences who value excellence and faith.
Celebrate Established Artists
We honor and support accomplished musicians and artists who continue to use their gifts for God’s glory, providing meaningful venues and audiences for their work.
Curate Sacred Arts Programming
From intimate chamber concerts to grand choral performances, from visual arts exhibitions to sacred dance and film—we present diverse programming that uplifts the soul and glorifies God.
Our Artists
We work with:
- Students and graduates from premier institutions like The Juilliard School
- Competition winners and laureates at the beginning of their careers
- Established professionals seeking to serve through their art
- Artists of all disciplines – musicians, visual artists, dancers, filmmakers, and more
All united by a Judeo-Christian faith and a desire to use their gifts for something greater than themselves.
Beyond Performance
MCAF is more than concerts and exhibitions. We are a fellowship of artists united by faith:
- Worship Together – Regular gatherings centered on praise and prayer
- Study Scripture – Bible studies exploring the intersection of faith and art
- Retreat & Reflect – Times of spiritual renewal for artists and audiences
- Community & Connection – Building relationships among faith-based artists across disciplines
