L. Ron Hubbard once wrote, “A culture is only as great as its dreams, and its dreams are dreamed by artists.” As an artist himself, Mr. Hubbard understood only too well just how important those dreams are to the creative person. He recognized, as well, that artists supply the spark of creativity and the vision of what could be leading us all into tomorrow.

It is an irrefutable fact that artists wield enormous influence over society, setting cultural trends and forwarding new ideas, both good and bad. For example, in the 1960s, musicians promoted drugs and helped lead and entire generation into the drug culture. On the other hand, many artists work to raise public awareness of environmental concerns, provide society with spiritual insights or urge reform of troubled areas.

In either case, by example and through their art, they communicate to millions. Thus, by improving the lives of artists, great progress can be achieved to better the condition of society—for any artist with an increased ability to communicate, who is drug-free and has high moral standards, imparts a positive influence on many others.

There is one type of Scientology church that is particularly reflective of how L. Ron Hubbard viewed the artist and his role in rebuilding what is plainly a troubled society: the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centres.

Founded in 1969 in accordance with explicit directions from L. Ron Hubbard, the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre utilizes the full body of Dianetics and Scientology on behalf of the creative individual. And when Mr. Hubbard speaks of rehabilitating artistic creativity, he is actually speaking of rehabilitating the source of all creativity, the human spirit. Rekindling the artist spiritually enhances his creative potential, restores to him high ethical standards, and otherwise helps him to forward his work in the creative arts.

“I’ve been coming to Celebrity Centre for years now, and every time I’m there, I am revitalized,” said one artist. “It’s just such an aesthetic environment, it makes me feel free and ready to create again.”

“Celebrity Centre is absolutely an oasis for me, and for any creative person,” said a Scientologist. “My creativity and my spiritual life are intertwined, but in the harsh world of the entertainment industry, they sometimes seem to clash. At Celebrity Centre, I have a safe haven where I can enjoy my fellow artists and share our creative spirit as well as our spiritual lives. It is a very special church.”

Such revitalization of the spirit of artists bodes well for society’s future. And this occurs daily with thousands of such individuals around the world.

Celebrity Centre ministers the same services as other Class V organizations. The artist who comes to a Celebrity Centre takes the same spiritual journey across the Bridge as the millions of other parishioners who are not in the public spotlight. Art and music have been linked with man’s religious quest throughout history. At the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre, the religious services of the church elevate the individual artist to achieve his own spiritual goals and in turn, the artists routinely channel their inspiration in ways which contribute to the spiritual uplifting of society as a whole.

To date, Celebrity Centres exist in eleven major cities and cultural centers around the world, including Celebrity Centre’s international headquarters appropriately located in Hollywood’s historic Château Elysée, once an in-town getaway for some of that city’s most memorable stars during its heyday.

Wherever Church of Scientology Celebrity Centres exist, the local community also benefits from the individual spiritual growth that comes with the rehabilitation of writers, musicians, actors and actresses. In each community, these artists—some of the brightest luminaries of stage and screen—regularly perform benefit concerts to support a wide range of local charities.

Through his creations, the artist creates a cultural renaissance. At Celebrity Centres that renaissance begins with the spiritual revitalization and rehabilitation of the artist.
