Multifaith Calendar 2019 – Coming Together: Exploring New Connections
This year, we are asking: What connects us? Is it, for example, relationships, economies, politics, a sense of place, a unique culture? What brings people together in dialogue, action and creativity? How do we build new bridges across old divides?
All artists are invited to submit including those who have never been featured in the calendar and those who have been featured in past editions. Work can be in any medium. The interpretation of the theme will be determined by the overall collection of images received.
Submit up to five digital images in low resolution (jpg / 72 dpi) to: ArtSubmissions@MultifaithAction.org, or mail to 949 West 49th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C., V5Z 2T1.
Should a piece be chosen, we will contact the artist and request a high resolution version of the image.
