it's the same/worse if you're a visual artist/designer. I have an undergrad in Sculpture and my dissertation was looking at Art and Religion in contemporary art/culture... so it would be an understatement to say I've read a bit on the subject and could talk at length about the different frameworks for "art in a christian context" and the positives and minuses of those approaches when it comes to our postmodern culture...

"Can you do something for/with church?" "umm what were you thinking?" "I think X" "ahh I see what you're trying to do, the reasons why that might not be a good idea are........ [long conversation]"
"oh so you don't want to do X then? We really want X." 🤦♂️
