In 2015, the painting Interchange, by Dutch-American abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning sold for an incredible $300 million. While we can ask ourselves what makes a work of art so valuable, there’s a more interesting question to ponder. What is the value of art in the human experience?

Aesthetic cognitivists have argued that art is valuable as a source of knowledge and understanding. But is there a demonstrable connection between art and understanding with reference to what Sir John Templeton referred to as spiritual reality in particular? Can art unlock new spiritual information?

Join us as we enlist a host of artists, philosophers, theologians, and scientists from the psychological, cognitive, and social sciences to explore these questions.
