The Catholic Art Institute invites you to

A Christmas Tour

Sunday, December 12th at 2:00pm

at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC

During the hustle of the holidays, we invite you to enter more deeply into the Advent season by spending an afternoon surrounded by beautiful religious art. Join us for a special tour led by William Newton and Natalie Peters, who will guide us through reflection and commentary on selected works of art. The theme of this tour is inspired by readings from the Gospel of Luke that are featured during Sunday Masses throughout Advent. We hope this event will delight your senses and draw you more deeply into the meaning of Christ’s birth this Christmas.

William Newton is the Art Critic for the online magazine The Federalist. Newton is a graduate of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, The University of Notre Dame Law School, and Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London. In addition to presenting before the Catholic Art Institute, he has also served as the moderator for the expert panel discussion at the Institute's conference and gala. He lives in Washington DC.

Natalie Peters is a freelance art scholar and personal color analyst. She has a background in art history and a master’s degree in the History of Decorative Art from the Smithsonian Institution. She was a contributing author to Tiffany’s Glass Mosaics (2017).

This event is a fundraiser in support of the Catholic Art Institute and its ongoing efforts to restore a culture of beauty, truth and goodness, by empowering artists to use their gifts to glorify God and captivate souls through beauty.

Tickets are $20 and all proceeds will go to the Catholic Art Institute.

We will meet at the fountain in the West Building rotunda prior to the tour which will begin at 2:00pm.

​After the tour the group will retire to the museum cafe for refreshments and social time
