our mission.

The St. Louis IX Art Society and Sainte-Chapelle Studios are a Catholic apostolate and 501(c)3 non-profit in South Louisiana. We transform the heart and lift the soul to God through transcendent beauty. The love of Christ, the beauty of Catholicism, and the story of each community informs every aspect of our work.​

We accomplish this mission through immersive experiences of sacred beauty, the publication of our culturally-infused quarterly arts journal, and the crafting of spaces that inspire wonder, love, and hope.
