Berkeley Community Church in northwest Denver is looking for artists to redefine the image of this historic icon! What is your visual interpretation of Jesus? Are your images of
Jesus literal, metaphorical, or something else entirely?
We are pleased to announce our Head Juror,
Cecily Cullen—Managing Director and
Curator of Metropolitan State University of
Denver’s Center for Visual Art.
Most of us, whether religious or not, have a fixed
mental image ofJesus Christ drawn from historic
depictions. These mental images are often based
on cultural stereotypes, political circumstance, and
theological interpretation.
However, a race- or gender-specific depiction of Jesus is limiting. In life, Jesus’ aim was to banish racial, social, and class distinctions. Jesus is, symbolically, “all in all”—everyman, everyperson.
Email this show's organizer, Jill Carstens at jillcarstens2605@gmail.com to communicate your intent to submit and she will send you the call for entries form with all of the details. Deadline for entry is in March.
