Open Call for Art
“A Chorus of Angels”
Dec 9, 2023 – Jan 6, 2024
Application Deadline Extended
Open until Sun, Oct 8, 2023

Theme Information:
Angels have played a major part in our human psyche for thousands of years beginning (as some scholars say) with the ancient Babylonians. Humans have looked to angels for guidance from early Jewish traditions in mystical texts like The Apocrypha,The Book of Enoch and then to Christian traditions like The Book of Revelations and later to contemporary spirituals. They have appeared in times of crisis and turmoil. Angels have been described as loyal guardians, messengers of God, with wings or subtle matter, and displayed the vengeance of God as in The Book of Revelations. Their presence has been debated, depicted, written about, classified, sexualized, wrestled with and feared. My mother, like many people, kept a small statue of a guardian angel in her car. Some people argued that angels may even have been Aliens and UFOs.
