Searching for Truth and Beauty. Preaching through the Transforming Power of the Arts

The Dominican Institute for the Arts is an association that brings together artists of the Dominican family.

As a community ranging from professionals to amateurs, DIA welcomes artists of all ages, genders and genres who are drawn together by their shared experience of the arts as prayer and/or by those who feel called by a desire to transform the Dominican preaching mission by reimagining the gospels with contemporary relevance.

DIA artists gather annually with exuberance and spontaneity to encourage and to celebrate at prayer, at work and at play their radical amazement to be co-creators with God.

The Dominican Institute for the Arts is a grassroots collaboration of sisters, friars, laity and associates of the Order of Preachers. We are committed to preaching through the arts.

We have overwhelmingly expressed the Dominican nature of DIA in sharing the fruits of contemplation moving the mission of the holy preaching forward with the Order. We are more than a gathering. We are interconnected and supportive of one another. We were aware of ways we have stretched and encouraged each other to try new forms, follow new ideas, and work for justice.

We are painters, musicians, dancers,sculptors, film makers, potters, poets, actors, composers, writers, designers of sacred space, dramatists, any other art form you can imagine, and those who appreciate and support the arts.
