ABOUT US:
Artes Christi Performing Arts
Following the successful 2007 production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Joseph and the amazing technicolour dream-coat, Artes Christi set up its youth outreach, ACPA - Artes Christi Performing Arts. ACPA's particular mission is to provide artistic opportunities for young people within a Christian environment on an at least annual basis.
Consistent with our Christian approach, ACPA also endeavours to team up with specific charities for all of our projects helping to raise awareness and money for important and worthy causes. For our previous productions, we have supported the St Vincent De Paul Society (2008) and drought stricken young people in Western NSW (2007).

MISSION: ‘Artes Christi’ is the Latin for ‘the Arts of Christ’ and our motto is St Augustine’s profound reflection on Christ: “Beauty ever ancient, ever new.” This motto was chosen not only for its poetic and theological meaning but also because it speaks to the core of Artes Christi’s creative work at this important time in history.
With the rapid expansion of the internet and online global communications we now live in an age perhaps more than ever ‘dominated by the youth’. Even so, despite the best of intentions, we recognize that there can often be a significant cultural divide between younger and older generations.
Artes Christi believes that young people are a priority in today’s society but we also believe that through research, practise and prayer, creative work can be developed which is authentic, transcendent and inspiring for people of every age. We seek to find, encourage and promote such work. In this sense we seek creative expressions which are universal and truly ‘catholic’ in their cultural appeal - work for which St Augustine’s words might be an apt description: “Beauty ever ancient, ever new.”
ACPA: Following the successful 2007 production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Joseph and the amazing technicolour dream-coat, Artes Christi set up its youth outreach which is called ACPA - Artes Christi Performing Arts. ACPA has 4 specific objectives:
i) Youth Opportunities: ACPA seeks to provide opportunities new for young people to be involved with and be supported in artistic projects including music, drama, dance, film, visual art, photography, event management, graphic design, marketing, media etc.
ii) Artistic Standards: In all its projects, ACPA seeks to encourage the highest possible artistic quality on the part of the performers involved, both individually and collectively.
iii) Christian Environment: ACPA seeks to provide an environment where young people can work together in an environment respectful of the Christian faith. (Like Artes Christi, you do not have to be Catholic or Christian to be in ACPA but you must be open and respectful of the Christian ethos of the association.)
iv) Annual Projects: ACPA seeks to specifically host (at least) annual theatrical productions and - where possible - also seeks to initiate and support other artistic projects throughout the year.
CONTACT: For more information on Artes Christi or ACPA please feel free to contact us on via email or mobile phone. We look forward to hearing from you and assisting with your work.
