Through events, teaching, and research, DITA is dedicated to showing how the arts can be enriched by theology, and theology in turn renewed through the arts. Our faculty and alumni are among some of the leading scholars and voices in the field of theology and the arts. The research conducted by DITA faculty and alumni is diverse and represents vital contributions to the conversation about theology and the arts.
