The conference explored the power of beauty to renew both individual persons and entire communities. Many of the over sixty conference presenters took as their point of departure Fyodor Dostoevsky’s famous statement: “Beauty will save the world.” Speakers reflected on the transformative and even salvific effects of beauty by exploring its power to impart new life, to engender love, and to awaken deep aspirations in the human heart.
