This Question From Art and Artists | 2 Answers
I believe it is an encyclical…it may be another writing dealing with the Catholic view of the role of art and artists. Can anyone help me find it, or any other official Church writing on this subject?
Thank you.

Try Pope John Paul II’s 1999 Letter to Artists: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_p… which states:
God therefore called man into existence, committing to him the craftsman’s task. Through his “artistic creativity” man appears more than ever “in the image of God”, and he accomplishes this task above all in shaping the wondrous “material” of his own humanity and then exercising creative dominion over the universe which surrounds him.
Also: Sacrosanctum Concilium (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy), Chapter VII – Sacred Art and Sacred Furnishings: http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_counc…
With love in Christ.
Im not sure. Im not a Catholic. I would check the vatican website.
