In celebration of our ongoing Jubilee pilgrimage, which will culminate in 2016 with the 800th anniversary of the confirmation of  the Order, the General Promoters of the Order are opening a virtual Jubilee Gallery that will be accessible through the Order’s  webpage. The doors are now open for all artists, poets, and musicians (all artistic media and languages are welcome) to share their Jubilee Art with the Dominican family worldwide.

Each year of the Jubilee we invite you to share art that expresses in some creative way the Jubilee theme of that particular year. 

For 2009, we are welcoming your creative, artistic preaching focused on a theme:

“In the beginning was the Word: St. Dominic, Preacher of Grace.”

Please send an electronic photograph or the written text of your artwork to the following address:  idi@curia.op.org. Artwork of a general nature (in other words, not focused on the annual Jubilee theme) will not be accepted.

The artwork will be posted on the Jubilee icon on the Order’s home page. Each entry should be accompanied with the artist’s name, city, country, and e-mail or regular mail address. If the artist requires permission for copying or reproduction of his or her artwork, please note “permission required for reproduction or publication” when sending your artwork too.  If you are open for your artwork to be reproduced or published by the Dominican family worldwide, then please add the words “ permission granted for public use” after your address.

May our brother, the mystic and artist, Blessed Fra Angelico, OP inspire us to be creative preachers of grace.
