For our readers in or near New York City, The Catholic Artists Society and the Thomistic Institute present a series of lectures on a Catholic understanding of the Arts. Eminent artists, theologians, and philosophers will be exploring the nature of art and its role in society. Hosted in Greenwich Village at the Catholic Center at New York University, every lecture will be followed by a reception and sung Compline.
Gregory Wolfe , editor of Image Journal , is giving the first lecture, “Art: For Whose Sake?” this Saturday, September 14, at 7:30pm. Wolfe is a prolific writer and editor whose work focuses on “the place where the religious sense generates culture.”

Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
