Reviving Faith and Hope through Sacred Art
The Catholic Art Institute hosted its 6th annual conference at The Catholic University of America on September 19-20.
The conference, centered on the theme "Reviving Faith & Hope Through Sacred Art," gathered artists, architects, composers, scholars, clergy, and patrons to explore how beauty advances the Church's mission in worship and culture.
Beauty is "not a luxury, but a necessity for the soul,"
Kathleen Carr, president and founder of the Catholic Art Institute, welcomed participants and expressed hope that the gathering would inspire a return to beauty and excellence in liturgy, church buildings, music, and art.
This year's theme coincided with the Jubilee Year of Hope, and Carr noted that in a world marked by unrest and cultural decline, sacred art bears prophetic witness that "darkness never has the final word," recalling Dostoevsky's line that
beauty will save the world.
