What is Ars Sacra?
Ars Sacra is Latin for Sacred Art.
We believe that every Catholic household should have sacred art and know where they are every day in the liturgical year.
Through an easy single download to your electronic device, Ars Sacra provides you with unique pieces of Sacred Art which automatically change daily.
Each piece of Sacred Art, painted by over 200 of the world’s most accomplished Masters, is curated to provide beautiful insight into each Liturgical Day. The color frame around each piece of art also ties to the vestment color for that day.
