In honor of the 100th anniversary of the presence of Catholic Charities in the Syracuse diocese, we invite local and regional artists to submit works of art that reflect the agency’s mission of service throughout our history, in the present day and as a vision for the future. Works should also reflect the 7 Pillars of Catholic Social Teaching that are the foundation of our mission. The 7 themes share common values with other major religions and values related to the common good. Artists are encouraged to participate in this challenge regardless of faith orientation.
This will be a juried art event and exhibition featuring 2D and 3D original fine art.
All artists accepted into the competition will be invited to an Exhibition Brunch/Reception on August 20th. The Exhibition Brunch will recognize artists receiving awards as well as all participating artists.
Select works will be chosen for awards and permanent display and installation throughout Catholic Charities of Broome County facilities. Artwork that is not awarded a prize/selected for installation may be exhibited for sale at the Exhibition/Reception. A 30% donation to Catholic Charities is suggested on sales.
