“Artists of the world, may your many different paths all lead to that infinite Ocean of beauty where wonder becomes awe, exhilaration, unspeakable joy. May your art help to affirm that true beauty which, as a glimmer of the Spirit of God, will transfigure matter, opening the human soul to the sense of the eternal. With my heartfelt good wishes!”
— St. John Paul II, Letter to Artists (1999)
The creative impulse, whether through making art, making music, or enlivening characters, is fundamental to the human person and particularly strong in young people. JPII students have many opportunities to make and create through our award-winning performing arts and visual arts programs. Sing, dance, play, act, paint, design, create or make — explore your creative impulse at JPII.
