| The Art and Artists of St. Patrick's |
Saint Patrick’s might seem an unlikely haven for the arts, but creative types have been coming here for years.This is a place where artists of all disciplines can find encouragement to work on their art: painters and writers, composers, photographers and poets, sculptors, scholars, and songwriters.
The products of our artists work — paintings, songs, poems, designs, films and photographs — can be seen in frequent events held to showcase their work. The process of creating a work of art is a mystery. What compels a person to commit those first words to a blank page, or those first brush strokes to a canvas. The answer is different for every artist in our community, but we believe that their results honor the GLORY OF GOD.
