How artists and the Church can work together to evangelize the modern world.

Combining art and beauty is the necessary way to speak to culture in the New Evangelization, according to Anthony D’Ambrosio, co-founder of Catholic Creatives, an up-and-coming online community of Catholic artists.

On this episode we recount Luke's travels to the CATHOLIC CREATIVES SUMMIT in Dallas, Texas, do a brief interview with Michael and Tony from Project YM and Catholic Beard Balm Co, talk about the heart of 'thick community', and Gomer smashes the Scandal yet again.

Back in September, I had a unique opportunity of going to the 2nd Catholic Creative Summit in Dallas, Texas. Over 100+ people gathered from around the world to be co creator in and collaborators for just a few days in September. One of those nights hand an amazing display of community, talent and Adoration.

Broadcasting live from Dallas Texas which is the host city of the very first Catholic Creatives Summit. 75 Catholic artists from around the country. Four of them joined me to talk about the work that they are doing and what they are hoping to learn from this conference.

I spent the past weekend in Dallas, TX for the second annual Catholic Creatives Summit. This invite-only experience was a mash between a Christian retreat and a highly professional networking event; where artists, writers, filmmakers, photographers, entrepreneurs, marketers, singers, dancers, and more—united by our shared faith—could connect and learn from one another…

We weren’t able to head to Dallas for the Catholic Creatives Summit but our guest, Fabiola did!

She recaps the conference and shares insight into her own art and why Disney’s Frozen was… “ok”

Anthony D'Ambrosio of Catholic Creatives hops on the shows from a trailer park filled with Evangelicals to discuss life, art, creativity, the New Catholic Renaissance in beauty, and how to deal with insecurity, self-doubt, and envy.

Apparently, Anthony is a punk-rocker turned seminarian turned artist turned event planner!

The Catholic Creative Summit is over, but I have a conversation with three of the participants from that event and they share some great resources.

In October 2018, Inscape and the Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship at Catholic University teamed up with Catholic Creatives, one of the most exciting lay movements in the Church, to hold a “hackathon”, a design challenge for Catholic creative professionals to investigate what was currently broken about the way Catholic culture thinks and talks about vocation.

Cinematic reflections on the Eight Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount will be the focus of a movie project that hopes to tap the power of beauty.

Last year, I had the incredible opportunity and fortune to connect with the good people from Catholic Creatives. This team of young people, dedicated to the promotion of truth through beauty has done incredible things for the church. Since then, the group has blossomed and grown into a massive community of believers, dedicated to this same cause. I am so proud and happy to be a part, and even more humbled, that PAL Campaign was featured as one of the "Creations of the Week."
