Submit your work
We invite you to be a part of our next exhibit in Charis Gallery, “Ancestry,” opening on Sunday, December 6, 2020*. Deadline for entries is Thursday, Nov. 5. Use the form below to submit your work. (If you prefer, you may submit via hard copy by downloading the PDF HERE.)
By its definition, “ancestry” naturally brings about thoughts of the past and of family. One might think of a great grandfather’s home in a foreign land or of a specific work or accomplishment of an ancestor. Someone else might think of a spiritual ancestor like Abraham. And still another might envision the intricate beauty of a “twisted rainbow” - a DNA strand. We look forward to seeing what you envision.
*This opening date target is based on recent case-counts published by the CDC. If this number begins to rise and we feel it is not safe, we will postpone the opening.
