Have you ever wondered why Renaissance art seems to overshadow the vibrant church art scene of today? Join us as we embark on a spirited exploration of contemporary Catholic creativity, from the engaging storytelling in "Saints Alive" and Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis," to the groundbreaking series, "The Chosen." Our dialogue goes between the roles of artists and consumers, as we champion the pursuit of excellence in the art we both create and appreciate. We even brush up against survivor's bias, questioning whether time filters out the mediocre to leave only the masterpieces, and how this principle applies to our modern creative endeavors.Wrapping things up with Scott Williams from Sock Religious. We highlight the role of high-quality initiatives, like FOCUS, in revitalizing church ministry and the personal stories of transformation they've inspired. As we conclude, we extend our warmest thanks to you, our listeners, for journeying with us, and invite you to stay tuned for more episodes that shed light on the inspirations fueling a variety of artistic pursuits.Thank you for attending SEEK24 and we want to encourage you to continue getting involved on your campuses and extend invitations to those that aren't yet!Check out all of the talks and keynotes from SEEK24 on SEEK Replay: https://seekreplay.com
