space()between | Transept Exhibition for Holy Week 2019
During Holy Week 2019 (14 – 18 April), Transept organised and put on a multi-format art exhibition, with emphasis on Holy Saturday as it serves as the “threshold between Good Friday which marks Jesus’ execution, and Easter Sunday which brings the hope of Resurrection.”

‘After the Call’ exhibition
ITIA artists invite you to examine with them what happens after the call.
The Transept – a group of practicing artists within the Institute for Theology, Imagination and the Arts (ITIA) – invites you to join us for an upcoming performance and exhibition.
‘After the Call’ offers space and time for celebration and reflection around the notion of being called unexpectedly to something unknown, or perhaps to something all-too-familiar that we suddenly realise.
6-15 April 2018
Venue open from 12:00 to 17:00 each day.
Performance evening on 11th April at 19:00 – engaging and interdisciplinary performance with music, poetry and monologues.
Location: Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Queens Terrace, St Andrews KY16 9QF
ITIA Art Exhibition 2017
Candlemas 2017 research seminar
Our first research seminar of the new semester will be held on Friday, 3 February 2017. ITIA and Divinity postgraduates, faculty, and guests are all welcome.
ITIA research seminars take place every Friday at 11am during term time. The full schedule is available here.
The Transept
The Transept is the place where everything comes together: where the study of art and theology meets the creation of art itself, where theory meets craft. This student-led group gathers on Friday mornings before the ITIA Seminar to share their original artistic work in any genre: visual, literary or performing arts. Participants choose various themes and the level at which they want critique. Want to join? Contact artist-in-residence Dan Drage to be added to the email list: dcd4.
