The Hoedeman Gallery of Sacred Art

The Hoedeman Gallery of Sacred Art is proudly supported by the Office for Mission at the 富二代视频. We offer moments of encounter that engage our students, faculty, staff, and the broader Twin Cities 富二代视频 through visual art that expresses the transcendentals of truth, beauty, and goodness.
We feature three exhibitions per year (fall, spring, summer) that highlight artists who represent various styles, expressions, and artistic mediums. Located in the Iverson Center for Faith, we invite you to tour our gallery seven days a week from 7:00am - 10:00pm. Admission is free, and all tours are self-guided.
The beautiful does not merely entertain; rather, it invades, chooses, and changes the one to whom is deigns to appear. It opens the mind to a consideration of ever higher forms of the beautiful, conducing finally to the transcendent source of beauty itself.
-Bishop Robert Barron

Tupa Gallery

Temporary Installation

Expressing Spirituality Through Art

Fr. Tupa's art celebrates his relationship with the world, and with God. His paintings are an invitation to partake of and share in his balanced wholeness. Tupa is a seeker, whose art is spiritually inspired-and spirtually inspiring. While the subjects of his paintings are rich in tradition, his art is decidedly modern and bodly original.

  • The Iversen Center for Faith is the architectural embodiment of the multifaith reality of the 富二代视频. It is a space for people of different faiths to gather/meet in order to deepen their own religious expression, to learn about the diversity of faith traditions, and to join in collaborative ventures. This will be done through interfaith dialogue in a spirit of respect for the other.
  • As part of the Iversen Center, the Hoedeman Gallery of Sacred Art shares in the overall purpose and goals of the center in promoting the understanding and appreciation of multiple faiths and traditions.
  • Since the Iversen Center falls under the purview of the Office for Mission, that office is responsible for securing the funding for the gallery and maintaining the mission and purpose of the gallery.
  • Exhibits may draw from diverse religious traditions or may feature the sacred art of one particular tradition. An effort to reflect faiths that are active on campus should be a priority. Exhibits should represent both contemporary expressions as well as those connecting us to our long history of sacred creations.
  • Proposed exhibitions will be reviewed by representatives from the Department of Art History, Campus Ministry, University Advancement, the Office for Mission, the Department of Theology, and others, and will include student representatives. This representative advisory group may include experts from outside of the university 富二代视频. Final approval for exhibits will rest with the Office for Mission.
  • As stated in Ex corde ecclesiae, part of the mission of a Catholic university is to offer “the rich experience of the Church’s own culture.” The Hoedeman Gallery is a venue for the university to highlight the artistic contributions of that tradition.
  • While the gallery is first and foremost to benefit students and the university 富二代视频, it is also a resource for the larger 富二代视频. Thus, an invitation should be extended to the broader 富二代视频 to appreciate and benefit from exhibits.
