CLA History
The Center for Liturgical Art was established in 2003 as a result of the vision of Reinhold Marxhausen, and the focused efforts of Ken Schmidt, and the Harvey Lange family to create a program capable of spreading the Gospel through art while allowing students the oppurtunities to learn about what it means to be an artist in the Church.
About Us
The Center operates as an institute of Concordia University, Nebraska. Mark Anschutz serves as Managing Artist. Having earned his undergraduate degree from CUNE, he later went on to earn an MA in painting from Pittsburg State, and an MFA in sculpture from Wichita State. Evan Balleweg, also a CUNE graduate is serving as Operations Manager.
About the Process
We specialize in custom and site-specific artwork. This means that every project we work on is different. Our process may vary from piece to piece but the initial steps will always be the same. Get in contact with us! We are more than happy to discuss any creative ideas with you either over the phone or by email or in person. Click our Contact tab to get connected.
