Call for Artists to Create Stations of the Cross Updated November 1, 2016 Artwork Opportunity: Saint Mark’s Cathedral invites proposals from artists to create their interpretations of the fourteen Stations of the Cross. The history of the stations has tended toward literal interpretations, but ultimately their purpose is to invite reflection and contemplation not only of Jesus’ passion and death, but also the universality of these themes. Thus, the artwork does not need to adhere to a particular cultural or religious framework. We hope, instead, that the art will use the fourteen scenes as a starting point for a broader meditation on human relationships, injustice, suffering, and the mystery of death. Prize: $3000 will be awarded upon completion of artwork installation. The winning art will be exhibited in the nave at Saint Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral from March 1 – April 14, 2017. Other submissions may have an opportunity to be shown at another arts event at Saint Mark’s. Eligibility: Applicants must be independent artist(s) residing in the United States. Preference will be given to artists working in the northwest. Media: The pieces of art will be displayed throughout the nave of the Cathedral. The only limitations to format are the limitations of the space. Saint Mark’s is a functioning Cathedral where liturgical and community gatherings take place, thus the art needs to consider the purpose of the space. We encourage all applicants to view the space before completing an application if possible. Application: Please send images and a proposal in a single PDF (not to exceed 12 mb) to the Rev. Canon Jennifer King Daugherty [email protected]. If your application includes video/audio, please include a link to that media in the PDF. Please label PDF as Lastname_firstname. Within the submission please include the following: -Artist info (Name, contact info) -Bio/Resume -Detailed proposal that contains at least one example of a completed piece for the exhibition, as well as concrete sketches/outline of proposed pieces for the
