“…His invisible attributes, eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen… in what has been made.” (Romans 1:20)

From Eden to Gethsemane to the wilderness, Scripture is full of landscapes where humanity encounters God. Sometimes those places are cultivated and familiar; sometimes they are untamed and uncertain. Artists are invited to reflect on these landscapes—literal or lived—where God’s presence is revealed through attention, courage, order, or wild beauty.

Seasonal resonance: early summer, growth, exploration

The Garden & the Wild Exhibition will be on at the Creo Arts Gallery from June 18 - August 20.

For Artists:

Submissions are open to everyone—artists of all ages and backgrounds in our community are warmly encouraged to apply. There are no prerequisites, credentials, or prior exhibitions required. If you’re reading this, we want to see your work. We welcome a wide range of mediums—painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, drawing, ceramics, fiber arts, digital art, poetry, and more. If you create spoken word, music, skits or monologues, etc., we can accommodate these performance pieces by utilizing the space at Sanctuary just a few doors down on the night of the reception. It’s actually really fun to move from one space to the other!

All submissions will be thoughtfully reviewed by a small curatorial team, and not every piece submitted will be selected for exhibition. Final selections will be made with care, prayer, and attention to how each work fits within the theme and the exhibition as a whole.

Works accepted for exhibition will be available for purchase throughout the duration of the show. Creo is equipped and happy to facilitate sales on behalf of artists, helping connect artwork with collectors and community members who love supporting local work. Artists are under no obligation to price their work for sale if they prefer to exhibit only.

Please submit your work by June 3rd.
