The mission of the Catholic Art Institute is to promote spiritual formation and supportive community opportunities for working artists.
Toward this end, the Catholic Art Institute has launched the “Letter to Artists Film Festival.” The theme of the festival is inspired by the Letter to Artists written by Pope St. John Paul II. Festival entrants are encouraged to read the document for thematic inspiration for their films. The Letter to Artists can be found here:
