The arts are amongst the languages that human beings have created in order to communicate their thoughts and feelings with one another. The better we grasp a language, the better we articulate and transmit our ideas. If we don't understand the language that is spoken, we'll not understand what is being said. Montreal is a city where the languages of the arts are varied and to which we can add their numerous dialects. From dance to visual arts, from music to cinema or from theatre to the circus, we all participate, each in our own way, in this vast arts languages school that Montreal has become.

Though festivals (TRANSFORMATION: arts, Christ & culture in 2004 or The IN VIVO Multi-Arts Festival in 2005), conferences (Colin Harbinson, Nigel Goodwin), special events (Arts and Faith evenings at Café Le Placard) or the support of certain artists (such as the Montreal pianist, Simon Sloutsker), we want to nourrish, in the heart of Montreal, reflection and dialogue concerning the arts and Christian spirituality. We want to create spaces where artists and art lovers can meet together and contribute to a better understanding of the mutual roles and influcence of faith, arts and culture.
