OUR MISSION
To enrich lives by expressing God's gifts of creativity, hope, joy, forgiveness, and love through the arts.
Rosebud Centre of the Arts serves as an anchor institution in support of Rosebud, Alberta, and Canada, providing facilities and leadership through Rosebud School of the Arts, Rosebud Theatre, and Rosebud Mercantile.

FOUNDING STATEMENT
Rosebud School of the Arts is a non-profit charitable educational institution recognized by the Alberta Legislature through the passage of the Rosebud School of the Arts Act (RSA 1988, rev. 2014) as an institution of secondary and higher learning in both the theoretical and practical fields of the Fine Arts for the betterment of society as an expression of Christian values.
 
A GUILD SCHOOL
Rosebud School of the Arts is a guild school that provides theatre training within a community of professional working artists. These artists recognize that their deepest source of inspiration springs from their relationship with Christ and have found the arts to be a powerful vehicle for expressing faith. It is through the arts that the Creativity of the Spirit can be revealed, becoming Light in a darkened world, serving as Salt of the earth.

that you fit into it without even thinking.
Instead, fix your attention on God
You’ll be changed from the inside out
