CATHOLIC BOUTIQUE EVENT CURATOR: OFFERING AUTHENTIC CATHOLIC EXPERIENCES
THE WORK
Throughout religious art history, the goal of artists and creators has been to provide some sort of window (hence the sort of framing device or window)into the Divine, to help reveal something about the Creator of creators. Through this work, little-c creators hope that their work may draw others into the great Mystery of the Divine despite our imperfect work.
Artists and makers hope to provide a window into the perfection of the Trinity, though our works alone are imperfect.
The figure of Christ is placed reminding us of who our work is to draw others too. The crucifix this is based on is St. John Paul II's papal crosier as he gave great care and concern to the use of artwork in the life of the faithful (see St. John Paul’s "Letter to Artists")
MISSION
SUPPORT CATHOLIC CREATIVES IN THEIR VOCATIONS.
We aim to help the domestic church in her mission of bringing Catholic truth, beauty, and goodness to every aspect of life.
SUPPORTING CATHOLIC CREATIVES IN THEIR MISSION
OUR VISION
Provide a platform for Catholic Makers to showcase and share the beauty of the faith through our work while gathering as a community in the true spirit of the Church
WHO WE REPRESENT
Our makers are Catholic fathers, mothers, singles, and religious, all using their God given gifts to create goods that help us on our path to holiness. You can help bring more accessible beauty into the Catholic Church by supporting those who are called to a mission of co-creating beauty with the Creator.
