The Reality of the Transcendent, Art Exhibition

The Catholic Mothers Apostolate is proud to present our first art exhibition of the season. Throughout the year, we will be promoting beauty through art, music and literature.

Our first art exhibition brings together three distinct practices that respond to the notion of transcendence in everyday life.

Through painting, dialogue, and shared experience, the event invites viewers to reconsider how reality is constructed and felt, using the talents God has given us to translate the invisible world of the spirit into meaningful forms.

Our Artists:

                   Antonia Covarrubias

.                     Mike Quirke

                     Cruz Jurado
