Inspired by our 2026 Annual Meeting theme, Heart for the Not Yet, this project gathers original works of visual art, music, poetry, spoken word, and digital expression from across our congregations—illuminating God’s heart for the world that has not yet heard, not yet believed, and not yet been transformed.

Selected works will be featured in two ways:

 – On-site Gallery Exhibition: A curated physical gallery at the Virginia Beach Convention Center featuring original works of art—paintings, photography, mixed media, and sculpture that can be safely hung or displayed.
‍

 – Digital “Graffiti” Experience: A dynamic, immersive projection space showcasing digital art, photography, video, and music in motion—transforming the convention center walls into a living expression of faith, beauty, and hope.

 – “An Open Call for Creativity that Inspires”

 – “The Art I Didn’t Know I Was Making”

–“Community Arts Project Ideas for Churches”

Submit art concepts by August 31.

Final art pieces are due  October 1.
