The Epiphany Sacred Arts Guild will present an exhibit of art and handmade traditional liturgical crafts that demonstrate excellence in the field of sacred art, every two years.  The next exhibit will be held in October of 2010.  The works exhibited will be executed by members and juried to assure consistency with the Guild’s Guidelines.  Each work will represent one or more of the following four categories:

Large Scale Public Sacred Images:
Art permanently installed or intended for installation in a church / sanctuary, including sculpture (bas and full relief), paintings, architectural working drawings, murals, mosaic, iconography, stations of the cross, art glass (including stained, etched or sandblasted glass) and tapestry.

Liturgical Objects:
Movable articles intended for liturgical use: for instance vestments, textiles (altar linens, frontals, etc.), chalices, monstrances, processional crosses, banners, candle sticks and illuminated manuscripts.

Art that promotes private prayer and devotions including sacred images of a scale not appropriate for installation in churches, stations of the cross, rosaries, chaplets, sculpture (bas and full relief), paintings, drawings, murals, decorative painting, mosaic, iconography, calligraphy, illumination, art glass (including stained, etched or sandblasted glass) banners and tapestry.

Architecture and installed Sacred Symbols: 
Architectural designs, models and renderings, including those for church furnishings such as Baptismal Fonts and decorative elements (wood or metal work, painting, etc).

The preceding categories are not to be considered exhaustive; excellent works of a type not mentioned above will be considered for inclusion.  Any object or architectural element with a specific liturgical use or purpose is eligible and may find its place within one of the categories.
