"Beauty can cut across a thousand arguments, it can speak directly to the heart, it can be persuasive in many mysterious ways.” So said Gabriele Finaldi, director of the National Gallery, in a talk at Farm Street Church, in London’s Mayfair district. He was speaking at the launch event of Catholic Creators UK, a new platform for Catholic artists. Even in a secular world, Dr Finaldi pointed out, art galleries and churches alike reveal our thirst for beauty.
Catholic Creators UK is born out of a desire to bring together today’s artists – poets, film-makers, fine artists, web designers, playwrights – and support them with spiritual formation, social gatherings and opportunities to showcase their work.
