Pulchrum 2026

March 14th, 2026

What Is Pulchrum? 

P V L C H R V M  is an ancient Latin word the early Church cherished when ordinary language failed them. It meant beauty, but not the passing kind. Not the kind that flatters. Not the kind that fades. It meant the beauty that reveals. The beauty that endures. The beauty that pulls back the veil and lets eternity spill through for a moment. Pulchrum is the kind of beauty that calls you home.  And that is why we exist.

Pulchrum Inc. is a Christian nonprofit gathering and forming a community of creators:
artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, designers, dancers, poets, animators, storytellers, theologians; not merely to appreciate beauty, but to pursue it, embody it, and reveal it as a witness to the Beauty that does not perish.  We believe beauty is a language God still speaks. That Christ is the ultimate and radiant form of Beauty.
And that every act of faithful creation is a small echo of the world to come.
So we build spaces of formation and imagination.


WHAT WE BUILD

Spaces Where Beauty Is Discipled
We cultivate excellence, holiness, craft, and courage. We offer places where polished professionals and college freshmen, master artisans and high school novices, can converge and empower one another in a space where legacy and liberty collide,  where tradition and innovation learn to speak the same tongue.
We create rooms where artists can breathe again, where ideas are sparked and refined, where beauty is not just admired but made — together.

We tend to the creative soul and send artists back into the world as bearers of wonder for the sake of the Church, for the renewal of culture, and for the glory of Christ.
Through scholarships for young artists stepping into their vocation, through national high school competitions that call students upward, through exhibitions and showcases that elevate sacred craft,
through collaborative creative spaces that form friendships and spark new worlds,
Pulchrum is building a community where beauty is discipled, not diluted.

THE ANNUAL GATHERING 

Every year, this vision comes alive when our global community gathers for our annual flagship conference. A sacred convergence in Los Angeles County; a full-day unveiling where beauty, faith, imagination, and artistic excellence meet in the ruins and rise again. We host a new theme each year, but the heartbeat never changes: to behold Beauty, and to become more like the One who is Beautiful.
