Founded in 1971, the Academy of Arts exists to train and inspire the next generation of servant leaders to properly use the universal gift of communication for others’ good and God’s glory.
The Academy of Arts lives out this vision through their multi-faceted organization which includes the Logos Theatre, a Christian Conservatory, 2 traveling ministries to 13 states, a professional film company, Venture Films, and supplying classes and training for all ages to “Make the Bible Come Alive in Minds and Hearts through the Power of Storytelling since 1971.”

Founded by The Academy of Arts in 2006 with the express purpose of impacting our culture for Christ through the powerful medium of storytelling on stage.
Our teams of high school and college-age young people travel to churches across the United States performing a gripping production to challenge and encourage every hearer.
These week-long drama seminars engage elementary and high school age students as they participate in preparing, rehearsing, and performing a full length original Academy of Arts stage production.
Our intensive, hands-on, apprenticeship program gives students invaluable training and real-life experiences in all areas of dramatic production.
Our film company exists to use visual storytelling to share the hope and light of truth in exciting and engaging ways.

FOUNDED ON TRUTH
Since 1971, The Academy of Arts has been dedicated to impacting our culture by “making the Bible come alive in minds and hearts” through gripping storytelling for stage and film. As we boldly and excellently craft stories that challenge the mind and engage the heart, lasting lessons of truth are planted into the soul.
The Academy of Arts has stood against the tidal wave of error, not by cursing the darkness, but by being a light! We continue to boldly and kindly share the power of God’s Word in creative and engaging ways through stage and film. As we create and craft compelling stories, we have seen thousands of lives changed as we bring young people into the process to disciple them and see them grow into powerful communicators for truth.

Another exciting week of #Ventureof1620 summer drama camp!
Each year we love to see a mix of new and returning high school campers! Some have even started in elementary camps and have graduated into the high school weeks! It's a joy to see hands-on learning, personal discipleship, and a healthy level of pressure 😉 developing these young people into strong communicators for Christ!
Final high school performance happening this Friday! Tickets: ci.ovationtix.com/35062

Diving into week 2 of #ventureof1620 summer camp!
In addition to having a role on stage, campers are also split into crews to help bring the show to life!
These responsibilities teach the campers the value of every role in a production and important principles to take with them after camp is over!
Performance is happening this Friday! Tickets: ci.ovationtix.com/35062

A very full first day of #filmcampjr!
We started the day learning about storytelling, putting it into practice by having the campers write a full script, and ending with exciting activities!
As the week continues, the campers will learn how to put their script to screen with interactive training, filming on set, and editing it all together!
