Public Launch of Theopholis: Inaugural Catholic Art Exposition

“Before me were no things created except eternal ones, and I endure eternal.”
— Dante, The Inferno, Canto III

Theopolis is excited to mark its public launch with the inaugural exhibition, The Drama of the Soul, exploring the existence, nature, and problems of the human soul.

Bringing together more than a dozen Ontario-based Catholic artists, the exhibition explores the existence, nature, and problems of the human soul. Drawing inspiration from Dante’s Divine Comedy and an artistic tradition that treats the soul as the protagonist of a drama beyond life, death, and time, this exhibition offers a response to a cultural moment marked by materialism, consumerism, and omnipresent technology, in which the reality of the soul is too easily overlooked or forgotten entirely.

Program Highlights

Theopolis is a non-profit working to renew faith and culture in Ontario by equipping a rising generation of Catholic artists and creating spaces of encounter between faithful and secular audiences. Please see our webpage here: https://www.theopolis.ca/
