This page displays relevant official documents from the Society of Jesus related to arts and the artists, official magisterial documents or Church documents, as well as intellectual work from renowned individual Jesuits that offer a better understanding of what the relation between the Society and the arts is. 

It is intended to be a collection and a repository of key texts and thought, though at the same time presenting the opportunity to elicit new contributions to the field. 

New contents will be uploaded soon.
