In a landmark meeting in the Sistine Chapel with Pope Benedict XVI on November 21, 2009, more than 250 international artists agreed that the art world is ready to collaborate with the church in creating inspirational modern art.
The artists were invited to the Vatican in an effort to revitalize dialogue and collaboration between the worlds of faith and art.
In his address to the artists, Pope Benedict said his meeting with the artists was "my invitation to friendship, dialogue, and cooperation." He urged the artists to think of themselves as "custodians of beauty."
