Salon event for creative professionals in NYC to practice good design and problem solving for civic issues.

ABOUT US

The phrase “Beauty will save the world” comes from Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel ‘The Idiot’. It speaks to a profound idea that true beauty, rooted in divine truth and grace—whether in art, nature, or the human spirit—has the power to alter the course of history and free society from the spiral of despair, decline and despotism.

​

As the nation enters a period of cultural disintegration and civil strife, our interdisciplinary community of classical educators, artists and designers look to the sages of Western art and civilization for the blueprint of a new timeline.
