Call for Art: The Eighth Day of Creation All-Church Art Exhibit

Are you called to create works of art to the glory of God? You're invited to participate in The Eighth Day of Creation, the annual church-wide exhibit presented by the Fine Arts Advisory Team. The exhibit runs from October 4 to November 13, and features works by you — the diverse and talented artists of all ages within our Second Presbyterian Church community.

Whether you are a seasoned creator or trying something new, we want to showcase your unique voice!

We welcome a wide variety of mediums. Are you currently working on, or have you recently finished, a project? Maybe it’s a Painting or Drawing, Photography or Digital Art, Sculpture or Ceramics, Stained Glass or Mosaic, Fabric or Fiber Art, Collage or Mixed Media, or something else! Stuck on an idea or need to talk through a concept? Reach out to us—we’d love to help you brainstorm!

Preparing Your Art for Display

Please ensure that your artwork is fully ready to be hung or displayed when you drop it off. If you need assistance or have questions about framing or mounting, please ask! We’re happy to help.

How to Prepare Your Work

Please Note: The Fine Arts Advisory Team reserves the right to refuse any work that is not properly prepared for display or is deemed inappropriate for the space. Additionally, if space is limited due to a high volume of submissions, we may not be able to display all multiple pieces from a single artist.

If you need to make alternate drop-off arrangements or have any questions about the exhibit, contact Carol Baker, Fine Arts Coordinator, at 317-253-6461 x356 (office) or CBaker@SecondChurch.org.

We look forward to celebrating and supporting your artistic journey!
Blessings, The Fine Arts Advisory Team
