Programs
Foundation for Spirituality and the Arts seeks to foster contemplation, imagination, and thoughtful engagement through our curated programming.
By encouraging a mutual flow of creativity and faith from both artists and scholars, we hope to initiate fresh channels of spiritual enrichment from new depths of artistic expression. Nurturing innovative and experimental collaborations between a wide range of communities, we aspire to integrate estranged voices together in a spirit of harmony, openness, and inquisitiveness.
Our programs are structured into three main arenas: Residencies, Gatherings, and selected resources we call Inspirations. At the heart of FSA’s programming is our twice annual series of Residencies – two fully-funded, live-work studio spaces located in the heart of Charleston’s historic district. We welcome visual artists, performers, composers, choreographers, and other makers, alongside art curators, writers, and theologians working on projects related to spirituality. See our Residency page for full details.
Presenting talks, discussion groups, and public performances featuring artists from various disciplines alongside academics and ministers, we facilitate both physical and virtual spaces for our Gatherings. By seeking out a diverse array of institutional partners that share differing perspectives and artistic mediums, whether arts organizations or religious congregations, our aim is to cultivate a new audience that bridges the chasm between the contemporary art world and faith-based communities.
