Events
Lectures, exhibitions, and quarterly socials — gathering Catholic artists and all who love art and the Catholic tradition.
Our Programs
Each year our lecture series invites distinguished creative figures to reflect on the role of the Catholic imagination in a world where it is increasingly rare, yet more vital than ever.
Our annual exhibition showcases the creative activity of our members and opens a space of encounter between secular and Christian audiences, engaging themes at the heart of contemporary Canadian culture through art.
