2021 Art as Worship Theme Announcement: please note change of date

 2021 Theme
HEALING

 

In the beginning God created (Genesis 1:1). God is creator, God still creates today, and He calls us to be creative. We honor our creative God with our artistic creations.

This year we invite artists to submit work that contemplates the many meanings and resonances of HEALING in Scripture, in Christian thought, and in our society today. It is written in Proverbs 3:7-8

 

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.

 

Eligibility 

Open to artists working in all media. Entries must be your own original artwork. Artwork must be consistent to the show theme, although the link may be more obvious in your description than in the work itself. Each applicant may submit up to two works. Artwork must have sturdy wire across the back for hanging; limited space for three dimensional artwork is available. The St. Matthew Fine Arts Ministry reserves the right to reject work that is deemed inappropriate or which differs from the submitted image.

Entry Procedure
There is no entry fee nor does the Fine Arts Ministry keep a commission on any sales. Each artist may submit up to 2 works. Please submit your information by November 6, 2021 to allow for gallery signs to be made, but the artwork itself doesn't need to be complete at that time.

We plan to host an online gallery again, in addition to the physical gallery, so that we are able to share the artwork with a wider audience. If conditions allow, we intend to host the opening gala in person on Saturday, November 13 from 6:30 - 9:00 pm.
