SOLA Network is pleased to release its new series “Artists in Motion.” We hope to platform Asian American Christian artists, as well as encourage all artists to root their identities in Christ and use their callings to share art and truth with the world. Check out the first two interviews with rapper Jason Chu and actor Jo Sung.
Our redesigned website features a new home page, author profiles, improved search function, and more. We would love to hear your feedback. We’ll be hosting a giveaway next week to celebrate, so tell all of your friends about SOLA.NETWORK!
Our September newsletter will be sent out next Friday. Read the latest edition and join for free. If you find something worth sharing, reach me on Twitter or Instagram.
