Title of proposed exhibit:

1. Describe the project and its theological scope. Please make sure this is in keeping with various theological concepts, how this project may illuminate one’s faith, or engage the topics of gender, race, and religion.

The Chapel views the creative arts as both an expression of the worship of God and an expression of human longing for God. By creating art from the materials of creation, humanity takes part both in the broken beauty of our creatureliness and of its glory.

2. Please describe how your artwork furthers this vision and aligns with the Chapel’s commitment to explore faith through the art.

3. Currently the Chapel is not able to exhibit a mixed-media display. Keep in mind, the finished product must be easily hung for display on the walls of the Chapel. The following media are the only options available this year:

Traditional drawing media

Traditional paint media

Photography

Printmaking

If there are any additional notes about the medium you intend to use, please add them here:
