Renewal - Symphonic's Annual Art Show

Renewal is a juried art exhibit held each Spring and inspired by the themes of creation, resurrection and rebirth.  Artists are encouraged to explore these themes from any perspective (i.e. Renewal is not a "Christian" art show).  Honesty is essential to any art worth producing in any medium and we desire to maintain an atmosphere at Renewal where artists feel free to create honestly.  Therefore, honesty dictates we should share our motives for, and beliefs about Renewal. 

We believe in a Creator who has expressed himself through all that is created and most especially through each person.  We also believe the desire to create is a reflection of the imago Dei (image of God) within all human beings.   Art is essential to human flourishing because it creates rifts in the here and now and allows (sometimes forcing, sometimes seducing) us to see the transcendent. We don't start to become fully human until we stop living in the animalistic pursuit of biological necessity and embrace both ugliness and beauty as real things.  Symphonic's goal is to build a great city in which all people can flourish.  A city without art is not a city where humans can thrive; a great city has great art.

We understand all people do not share our beliefs. Renewal is an event for people of all beliefs or no beliefs.  If you are an artist, please express yourself freely and honestly knowing you will be welcomed and appreciated.  if you decide to attend Renewal we welcome your reactions to the art and look forward to the conversations generated by the efforts of all the artists.
