The arts inspire, entertain and uplift our community. Artistic events can be true expressions of spirituality, testaments to God's work in the world around us. As one form of the ministry of St. Matthew's Church, The Arts at St. Matthews sponsors performances by artists of regional and national importance.

Arts at Saint Matthew’s performances contain sacred as well as secular themes and include such forms as music, theatre, dance and the visual arts. Above all, our program endeavors to make its performances beacons to Wilton and our surrounding communities, welcoming our neighbors to St. Matthews and sharing with them the beauty of the Arts.
For eleven seasons, The Arts at St. Matthew’s has welcomed a multitude of audiences through our church doors to experience such great artists as Dave Brubeck, Judy Collins, Stephen Schwartz, Chanticleer, Paul Winter, Jerry Hadley, the Manhattan Choral Ensemble, Maureen McGovern, the Girls Choir of Harlem Doc Watson, the American Boychoir, and many others including our own wonderful parish choirs and musicians. During our church renovation, the Arts has basically been on hiatus. Now that the end of our build is in sight, The Arts at St. Matthew’s will resume with two very special concerts. More information is forthcoming, but be certain to mark your calendars now!!!
