The International Arts Movement "is a non-profit organization. A group of artists and creative catalysts united in wrestling with deep questions of art, faith and humanity. It is people who love art, who love others, and who love the world. This movement seeks to uphold and extol the work of all those who, by their craft, are rehumanizing our world.

Our events streams include the Readers Guild, Discussion Café, and Cinema Series as outlets for connection. Come find a way to create the world that ought to be right where you are."

This meetup group is a Canadian offshoot of IAM.

If you have been wrestling with the deep questions of art, faith, creativity, and humanity, and want to discuss these questions with fellow artists and creative catalysts, this group is for you.

If you enjoy reading a book a month and discussing it with people who have just read it the same month, this is for you. Or if you want to have topic-based conversations, or article-based conversations, you'll find we would be doing that too.

To give you an ideas of some of these topics, here are some examples: 1.What does it matter? 2.Boundaries in Contemporary Art: Street and Graffiti Art 3.Nostalgia 4.How do you find the time 5.On Discipline (article) 6.A Letter to Young Artists (article) 7.One Person's Trash is Another Person's Treasure 8. What is Art? 9. The Lottery by Shirley Jackson (short-stories)
