About the Event:

“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.” (John 11:25)

Timed with Lent, Holy Week, and Easter, this exhibition explores death as a passage—not an end—and resurrection as both cosmic and personal. Artists may respond to themes of surrender, waiting, renewal, and rising life. Work can range from subtle transformation motifs to explicit crucifixion and resurrection imagery.

Seasonal resonance: spring emergence, Eastertide

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 April 12th.
