“Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Jeremiah 29:7
OUR PURPOSE
We believe that creativity has the power to change and transform the narrative of a city and beyond.
The purpose of the Creative Academy is to raise up a generation of creative leaders who are positioned to use their creativity to seek the transformation of their community.
WHO WE ARE
Fortress Creative Academy is an initiative from HTB Church in London, and Alpha.
By joining the Creative Academy you will be part of a wider church and staff community based in South Kensington who seek to glorify God and see revitalisation across the UK and beyond.
A ONE YEAR PROGRAM
We will take applications for up to six candidates who will join the Fortress Creative Academy for:
SEPTEMBER 2024 – JULY 2025
You will need to demonstrate you have creative ideas that will make a difference and contribute to the Kingdom of heaven in London and beyond.
You will need to show that you have ideas that fall into the categories of videography, documentary, music production, film, graphic design or another creative medium.
HOW IT WORKS
Throughout the year-long program, you will have space, time, and guidance to help you work on your own creative projects and ideas. You will have access to a workspace, coaches, and industry contacts, as well as being an active part of the academy and wider church community.
EXHIBITIONS & EXPERIENCES
At Christmas, Easter, and in the summer, you will have the chance to showcase your work with exhibitions for the wider community.
There will also be the opportunity for three trips, to gain experience and learn from existing creative projects such as at the Alpha Creative Hub in Malaysia and on-location filming of the new Alpha Film Series.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
£300 per term
