Creating a new paradigm by seeking out and caring for artists as cultivators of goodness, beauty, and truth.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations...
ISAIAH 61:4 NIV
We exist to serve, support, and care for artists across Canada to redeem, rebuild, and restore beauty in our broken world.
renaissance. rəˈneɪsəns. rebirth.
The Britannica Dictionary defines the renaissance as “a period marked by a revival of Classical learning and wisdom.” In the same way, we believe that a new renaissance is happening today — that we are being marked by a revival of beauty, truth, and goodness.

Support us
Renaissance Canada is not just a ministry, but a movement committed to restorative work the arts in Canada by embedding them with hope, truth, and purpose. The arts have a powerful influence on culture, but many artists today feel isolated, uninspired, and disconnected from deeper meaning. Renaissance Canada exists to reach and support these artists, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to bring light to creative communities often shadowed by darkness. Your support will empower a generation of artists to create with purpose, infusing the arts with the restorative power of Christ and transforming them into sources of hope, beauty, and truth.
Join us in restoring the soul of Canadian artistry today.
