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]

Contemporary Art and the Church: A Conversation Between Two Worlds, (2017) edited by W. David O. Taylor and Taylor Worley, is a collection of essays based on the 2015 CIVA conference.[7]
