Ritual

Ritual: an act we perform with our bodies. A practice we repeat, over and over again, until it becomes ingrained in our very bones. A knowledge that has been resting within us for millennia, passed to us by those who came before. A routine we preserve in its original form or that we creatively mold to our present circumstances. Religions and spiritual traditions throughout history have clung to ritual as a form of preservation, faith, and connection to the past and future.

This exhibition seeks an artist's view on embodied ritual within a spiritual life. Artists of any faith tradition, experience level, and medium (including 2D and 3D, installation, performance, video and multimedia) are invited to apply. Entry fee is $30.00. Work sample requirements: 1-20 images, 0-6 audio files, 0-6 video files, with a total of 1-20 samples.
