The Value of Arts Education in Community (with Gracie McBride)

| October 22, 2026 | 0 comments

Michael is joined by Gracie McBride, who just finished up a summer internship with Renew the Arts. Gracie is a musician and a writer with a Master in Theology and the Arts from the University of St. Andrews. They talk about the value of arts education and her interest in the communal aspects of art appreciation and creation.

Gracie makes music under the name Gracie Virginia. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear her unreleased single, “All of the Virginias,” which she generously allowed Renew the Arts to preview for our podcast before its release.

If you provide your email address, we can get to know one another!

No, it's not a trap. We promise not to bombard your email inbox. In fact, most people complain we don't send enough emails! But here's what you can expect:

  1. In the following week or so you'll get a few messages. These are individually designed to catch you up on all the great things we're doing!
  2. Once you're caught up, you can expect (on average) one email a month, keeping you updated on the progress we're making toward our mission to liberate Christian creativity.
  3. And once you have a handle on our work, we can try to get you plugged in. Maybe you're an artist who wants to get more involved. Maybe you want to keep tabs on our projects. Whatever has drawn you to our work, this is the best way to get plugged in.
