The Maguire Art Museum at Saint Joseph’s University welcomes art submissions for its summer 2025 group exhibition titled, Laudato Si: Caring for Our Common Home.
This exhibition focuses on environmental stewardship; the relationship between humanity and the Earth, as shown in Saint Francis of Assisi’s Laudato Si poem. Saint Joseph’s University is designated by the Vatican as a Laudato Si university, showing its commitment to sustainability and stewardship rooted in Jesuit values.
The Maguire Art Museum will strengthen this commitment through an art exhibition that focuses on humanity’s responsibility to care for the environment, or the effects caused by human involvement. Pope Francis emphasized the importance of an interfaith effort in the Earth’s protection– what would this look like? How does the Earth’s destruction disproportionally affect marginalized populations?
