Bogotá, Colombia – Are you an artist? Do you know an Anabaptist artist? Mennonite World Conference is calling for artwork to be displayed at Assembly Gathered, 21-26 July 2015 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA.

At the Assembly there will be a central gallery, which will feature representative contemporary artwork by artists of all ages and traditions. While there is no theme for the exhibition itself, the MWC Assembly theme is “Walking with God.” Artists are encouraged to create new artwork or submit existing work for this global Assembly.

Call for Worship Arts

Another gallery at Assembly Gathered will display worship art from our churches around the world. Mennonite World Conference is calling for banners and tapestries from MWC-affiliated congregations.

This gallery will show case worship arts banners and visual art pieces created by and for the worship spaces of the many thousands of different congregations represented. If your community has commissioned or created unique tapestries, banners or visual art that is available to share, we’d love to hang these banners and images in one of the busiest spaces in the complex.

In addition to these two exhibitions, there will be galleries located throughout the complex with children’s artwork, historical art, and resources.
