Seoul Archdiocese plans to establish a Catholic Academy of Arts to spread awareness of church art and to manage church art more professionally.
The project plans to collect arts and artifacts within the archdiocese and other parts of the country for their maintenance, conservation and study, church officials announced. The academy, planned as a non-profit organization, is scheduled to be launched on Nov. 29, the first Sunday of Advent that starts the four-week season preparing for Christmas.Help us keep UCA News independent
The Church in Asia needs objective and independent journalism to speak the truth about the Church and the state.
With a network of professionally qualified journalists and editors across Asia, UCA News is just about meeting that need. But professionalism does not come cheap. We depend on you, our readers, to help maintain our independence and seek that truth.
A small donation of US$2 a month would make a big difference in our quest to achieve our goal.
