- **Event Description**: Join Joie de Vivre for our 2nd annual Louisiana Arts & Culture Festival at Saint Joseph Abbey!

This two-day gathering focused on “South Louisiana & the Catholic Visual Arts” will bring together local and national Catholic artists with our wider community to celebrate the feast that is our Catholic faith and the visual arts.

Gather with us on the grounds of Saint Joseph Abbey, burial place of Walker Percy, where beneath majestic oaks and soaring pines the liturgical and artistic treasures of the Church continue to nourish each other. In this storied artistic setting, minutes from Covington and only an hour from New Orleans, we’ll delve into the rich relationship of word and form & explore how South Louisiana continues to inspire its own artistic tradition.

Together, we’ll enjoy a keynote presentation, art exhibitions, concurrent lectures and workshops, Catholic artist panel, Liturgy of the Hours and Mass with the monks, happy hours, leisurely strolls on the Abbey grounds, and optional housing accommodations at the Abbey.

Featured speakers include Jaclyn Warren, Haley Stewart, Blair Piras, & Barbara Brocato, alongside many other exciting concurrent speakers and workshop leaders.

Optional housing accommodations at the Abbey will be made available shortly.
