On Friday, May 16th, the Young Adult Ministry at SVF, Club Dominicana, hosted Arthouse2B for a performance of an excerpt from Ruah: Breath of Life, followed by a Q&A, food, and fellowship.

On Tuesday, May 20th, as part of the spring Mystagogy formation series offered by the parish, Arthouse2B Executive Director Erin K. McAtee gave a talk on Georges Rouault: Grace and the Grotesque: Devotional Art in the Heart of the World. A recording of the talk can be found here.

St. John Paul II once said that at the origin of all that exists, of all the created world, lies “not so much a great mind, as a great heart.” This Heart from which all of creation springs forth into being is the same source from which flows all that is Beautiful. This center of Beauty, this Heart of Beauty, is what anyone who has heard the summons to create, no matter what form that may take, has experienced — even if they couldn’t name it.

On May 9-11th, 2025 at the Loyola Jesuit Center in Morristown, NJ, we held our annual retreat for artists.
