BENEDICTINE RETREAT CENTER
Seeing God: A Juried Exhibit of Sacred Art
 at St. Paul's Monastery Gallery
Over the centuries, Benedictines have encouraged women and men who use color, form, sound, and word to express the beauty one experiences in the encounter with God’s own creativity. Their "sacred art" contributes to keeping us mindful of God’s abiding presence. This exhibit features contemporary artists who work in that spirit.
The Benedictine Center of St. Paul's Monastery is continuing the pioneering work of Nick and Rosemary Heille, who founded and led The Northeast Minneapolis Spiritual Art Show for eleven years.
Goals
- To encourage artists in their gifts to interpret and give form to God’s revelation in human life, nature, and the cosmos.
- To demonstrate how the arts can expand one’s capacity to encounter God.
Call for Artists
The Art and Spirituality Team of St. Paul's Monastery will invite all artists to submit sacred art for the 2013 Seeing God juried exhibit in late 2012. Entry Rules and an Entry Form will be updated below. We will seek works of art that:
(1) are rooted in themes drawn from religious traditions, Scripture, nature, the human journey, and/or an interpretation of the mystery of life.
(2) show how art reveals a deeper sense of wonder.
(3) are appropriate for the environment that greets the Sisters and guests daily.
Key Dates (Exhibit will be open February 2013)
