We are seeking your artwork for publication in Seek and online. Photographers, digital artists, textile artists, painters, illustrators, sculptors: digital photographs of any genre of work will be accepted. We publish essays from diocesan members, clergy and lay, to share the successes and challenges of our shared life in Christ. Some of us offer profound evangelism through our created works of art. We want to honor these stories of Christian life, too.
The Editorial Board and Offices of the Bishop will choose one or two selections for each Seek issue. Our first theme is Celebration. Celebration is such an integral concept for us as Episcopalians. We celebrate the Eucharist, we celebrate sacraments, new ministry; we celebrate the life of the departed. And in these fifty days of the great celebration of Easter when we begin our call for art, we celebrate resurrection. Alleluia!
Chosen artwork will be published with a brief bio of the artist and small photo, and statement about the work and how it relates to that call’s theme. Artists selected will receive our thanks and a small token of appreciation from the Offices of the Bishop. Please send one or two high resolution digital images of your work, your name and contact information, a brief bio and a brief description of your work as it relates to Celebration. (If artwork file size is under 5 MB, send by email, if larger by CD.) Submitting the image of a work for publication consideration implies your consent for the Diocese of Missouri to publish that representation in diocesan publications (print and online), with attribution to you. Not all artwork submitted will be published. All submissions are welcome.
Submission deadline for Celebration artwork is Friday, May 14, 2010.
Digital files may be emailed to communications director Beth Felice at
bfelice@diocesemo.org, or phone us to make other arrangements, 314-255-1387.
Future themes planned are:
Good News, submission deadline June 18, 2010
Reconcile, submission deadline September 17, 2010
Whole heart, November 12, 2010.
