The ‘Egg Tempera Painting in the Workshop of Blessed Fra Angelico’ workshop is underway, with instructor Matthew Conner, in late June 2023.

Kathleen Carr of the Chicago Art Institute details ‘the purpose of raising the mind and heart to God and expressing the mysteries of faith through the talents of artists, who are called to participate in God’s creative work through their artistic endeavors.’
