The 11th Annual Sacred Art ExhibitionExhibition Dates: July 24 - August 18, 2007
Location: Box Heart Gallery
Type: Juried, Theme Exhibition
Description: The 11th Annual Sacred Art Exhibition... 2007
Deadline: May 15, 2007 (post marked)
The Sacred Art Exhibition is an Annual Event in the Bloomfield Community. The arts enable contact with The Sacred on an intimate level. By creating, The Sacred is manifested by the hands and a new life is brought into existence. Selection for this exhibition requires that artists submit pieces that explore their personal interpretation of The Sacred. All interpretations, both traditional and nontraditional, are considered. This exhibition does not recognize any difference of authority between the traditions of the God-knowing and the artistic cultures that surround them. The Sacred Art Exhibition is looking forward to a successful 11th year. Come to our community and explore this intriguing cultural event!
- Traditional interpretation of The Sacred includes work that inspires devotion and self transformation with narratives chosen from the great prophets of God such as Krishna, Buddha, Christ, Moses, or Mohammed. Iconography, or the representation of holy persons or events, would be considered examples of traditional interpretations of the Sacred.
- Nontraditional interpretation of The Sacred, may include works that deal abstractly with personal reflections on the natures of truth and beauty in art and life. The rhythm of nature, the legends of ancient gods and goddesses, the human form and condition, even architecture would be considered nontraditional examples of the Sacred.
