Arts Collective of Paisley

We organise a monthly open mic event at a local coffee shop in Paisley. Anyone is welcome to come share any form of creativity, including but not limited to: music, art, dance, crafts, poetry, comedy, woodworking, creative writing, and more. Our heart is to create a safe space for anyone to share their work and their giftings. We also seek to develop relationships with the community and individuals through these regular meetings.

Florence Classical Arts Academy

We are a private international visual arts academy established in 2009 in the heart of Italy – Florence. We train artists from all over the world through our unique method of constructive approach and applied knowledge.
We are a school founded by Christian artists and educators with high emphasis on Biblical values in our education process.

Home in the Marsh Dance

We run a dance ministry where we train students during short-term dance and missions courses within the UofN. We also host weekly dance classes open to the community, and partner with dance companies in Europe (France, Netherlands) for performances with a focus on worship and/or evangelism.

School of Acting (ATS/CMC 231)

Students are introduced to the craft of screen acting from a biblical perspective, studying techniques from Stanislavsky’s System and Strasberg’s Method to Meisner’s Approach. This school runs alongside the School of Digital Filmmaking, allowing students to practice their newly acquired skills in short films. The school provides a wide understanding of the film and television industry, including the personal struggles and challenges encountered in that context.

School of Performing Arts I and Field Assignment (ATS 213 / ATS 214)

This course prepares the student in spiritual, practical, and technical aspects of the performing arts. With the goal of equipping Christian artists both in the context of local church ministry and service in the marketplace, it lays biblical foundations regarding the arts (biblical authority, re-evaluating basic assumptions, reclaiming specific art forms, etc.) and delves into issues of the artist’s development in both character and skill. Topics may include: theatre arts, mime, dance, music and worship, songwriting and recording, improvisation, communication principles, lighting setup, technical management of the stage, acting technique and rehearsal, directing, set design, and scriptwriting.

Visual Arts Seminar (ATS 157 / ATS 158)

This school is designed to train artists to be agents of transformation in communities, cities and nations. Students are trained in the biblical basis for creating art, with an emphasis on three areas: God’s character, heart purity and the position of the artist, and the means to communicate the message.

Hospitality Ministry Seminar (ATS 143)

While affirming the ministry of hospitality as an expression of God’s character and the value of people, this seminar is an expression of a belief in the importance of opening our hearts, homes and campuses to serve and honor one another, our guests, and the poor and needy, not as acts of social protocol, but as expressions of the value of generosity. In this seminar, hospitality from a Biblical foundation will be explored with a consideration of responses to questions such as, “Why do we value Hospitality? What does Hospitality look like cross-culturally? How do we prepare for a guest speaker?” and many other related questions.
