The mission of the Catholic Art Institute was to promote spiritual formation and provide supportive community opportunities for artists, as well as recognizing excellence in craftsmanship by a new generation of contemporary artists of faith.
To this end, the Catholic Art Institute launched the First Annual “Letter to Artists Film Festival.” The theme of the festival was inspired by the Letter to Artists written by Pope St. John Paul II. Festival participants were encouraged to read the document for thematic inspiration for their films.
It was our great pleasure to present the winners of the Letters to Artists Film Festival. The following films were screened live on April 14, 2024, at the Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse. Doors opened at 6:15 pm. Food and beverages were served during the festival.
