Multifaith Calendar 2025: Artists' Call for Submissions: NOW OPEN


Each year, artists are invited to submit works of art for the publication of our next (2025) Multifaith Calendar.

 

The theme for the upcoming 2025 edition is: Pathways to Peace

 

As multiple conflicts rage across the world, it can be easy to give in to feelings of hopelessness about humanity's prospects for a peaceful and prosperous future.

The dream of true and lasting world peace is universal, yet elusive. What will it take for us to finally set aside our petty differences and historical grievances to find a common vision for humanity? Does peace simply entail the absence of war, or does it incorporate freedom from all forms of injustice and oppression?

Many philosophers and spiritual leaders have posited that we cannot achieve global peace and unity until we realize peace within ourselves – an intriguing perspective inviting new and creative interpretations. Perhaps, peace need not be more complicated or grandiose than a walk amongst the wildflowers or a late-summer sunrise.

In the 2025 Multifaith Calendar - Pathways to Peace, we invite artists to reflect deeply on these perennial questions and to channel their visions of peace into artwork that soothes the spirit, uplifts the soul, inspires others to action, and ultimately offers solace to a divided world.

General Parameters:

 

Each year, MAS invites artists to submit works of art for publication in our upcoming Multifaith Calendar. Work on this theme can be in any medium. The interpretation of the theme will be determined by the overall collection of images received.

 

Our aim is to produce a Calendar that will showcase a variety of interpretations on our theme while creating a visually cohesive end product. We encourage all artists to submit images, including artists who have had their work showcased in previous Multifaith Calendars.

 

Please submit your art (up to 5 individual pieces) in any medium that personifies our theme.

 

We would like to include many different interpretations of Pathways to Peace, which together will create a beautiful and visually cohesive Calendar. All artists are invited to contribute, including those who have had their work showcased with us in the past.
