The Lutheran Church of the Resurrection (LCR) announces a call for entries for an upcoming exhibition entitled “Mixed Inspiration and Combined Sources” The exhibit explores how multiple ideas, mediums, and processes collide to create multi-sensory experiences. Do prose, music, poetry, or scent inspire your work? Is your work the nexus of multiple other art forms? This exhibit is about the multi-sensory reality that can be explored in art.

The Art and Exhibitions committee will consider works in all 2D mediums (Painting, Drawing, Multimedia, Collage, Photo, Digital – printed and hang-ready, Textile, Printmaking, etc.). Artists should submit digital images of no more than 3 pieces that, for you, relate to the theme of the show. A selection of submitted works will be selected and curated by the LCR Art and Exhibitions Committee.

Open to local 2D artists in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area – limited only by the artist’s ability to
deliver and pick up their work. All accepted work must be ready to hang with appropriate hanging
hardware, framing, and/or other treatment that allows for the safe installation of the artwork on a
cable/hook system. We are located at 3115 Victoria St. N in Roseville, Minnesota.
