The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts (TMC) in Merrimack, New Hampshire, has announced the launch of its “Way of Beauty Art Program.” David Clayton, an artist from Great Britain who is trained in Eastern and Western styles of Christian art, will lead the new program. “The preservation of the sacred Catholic artistic tradition,” Clayton explained, “will be my guiding light as I serve Thomas More College and the Holy Catholic Church. I am especially looking forward to mentoring this generation of Catholic artists so that they can contribute to a new flourishing of the traditions of their predecessors, producing art that adheres to the timeless and sacred principles that comprise beautiful art, and which moves the hearts of those who see it to love of God and fellow man.” TMC plans for art-oriented campus lectures and mentorships. They also foresee a fine arts major being offered at the College, with the final two years of coursework dedicated primarily to artistic study. The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College remarks that “Thomas More College has long emphasized its intellectual offerings and has recently strengthened its already notable Catholic identity.”
