"In His Image Gallery Event"
CALL TO ARTISTS
It is time again to prepare for our big annual Genesis 1-1 Fine Art Gallery Event! The theme is In His Image and will take place February 20, 2021! For the past Genesis 1-1 gallery events (The Beauty of God’s Creation 2018, Pure Joy 2019 and The Sound of Light 2020) we have personally invited artists we know or who have been recommended to exhibit their artwork. They could bring anything that fit the theme and were automatically accepted because of personal invitation. This year we are doing things a little differently to give the opportunity to even more artists.
Artists may submit up to 5 pieces to be considered for the exhibit by filling out the form and uploading images of your artwork. All submissions are due by January 15th. You will be notified the following week and all accepted artwork will need to be dropped off on January 30th.
The Genesis 1-1 “In His Image Gallery Event” will take place at the Grace Point Gallery Cafe from 4pm – 8pm. Participating artists will need to arrive by 3:00pm. Art will be displayed throughout the event area in the Gallery Café and hallways for approximately 2 months. It will be a wonderful event to invite our friends, family, and the community to come and enjoy. The “In His Image Gallery Event” will provide an atmosphere of Inspiration where we want to connect people with our Creator. We would like all participating artists to be available and prepared to talk with people, pray for them and share your testimony in a natural relaxed way during the event. We will be offering training specific to this to help you be prepared when sharing with others.
By popular demand, Jazz for Good will be providing our live background music. We are also proud to announce a special guest, Marcotte. Marcotte is a musical duo bringing emotional transparency from their soul as they share testimonies and the Gospel of Jesus. Culinary refreshments will be provided throughout the evening to the artists and guests.
Participating artists will be able to sell their artwork if they would like, we just ask that a minimum of 10% of any sales would be donated to Grace Point Baptist Church. This is not a fundraising event for the church. They are graciously hosting the event and we want to help cover any expenses that we can.
“In His Image” Theme:
We are looking for artwork representing people to express what it means to be made in the image of God. Please watch this video clip from the Bible Project: IMAGE OF GOD
This video is a great description and gives good examples of what we are looking for the artwork to express for this exhibit. We are looking for day to day acts of the work and creativity of humans when choosing to use our rule/dominion over the earth in cultivating our planet as well as who we are as people in various cultures. Prayerfully consider what artwork you have or would like to create that would fit into this theme!
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
-Genesis 1:27
Here is the Link to submit artwork for the In His Image Gallery Event. If you know of other artists that may be interested in participating, then just simply forward this invitation on to them. We are so excited to bring the art community together for another great event!

Currently Carol's artwork is exhibited at the Grace Point Gallery Cafe in South Kansas City.
It is a beautiful exhibit and it was great to hear the incredible ways God brings joy through her creativity! We had a very uplifting and encouraging time!
Carol grew up in Kansas with a love for children and their stories. She graduated with a BA degree in Special Education. She taught for six years in Denver, Colorado in both private and public education.
While her husband, Rhett, pastored churches in both Colorado and Kansas, she homeschooled their two children from elementary through high school.
In 2004 Carol and her husband moved to China for one year where they taught English to university students at SIAS International University in Xing Zheng City.
In 2007 she began to dabble and play with paint. She found it gave her such joy that she continues with it today.
It is her desire that God is glorified in her attempts to create a little beauty on canvas.

⭐ Gary is presently the curator/administrator for The Welcome Gallery at Northland Cathedral in Kansas City, Missouri where they are creating an environment for artists to blossom.
"My personal focus recently is on making the invisible visible in terms of bringing clarity to spiritual concepts while making them visually pleasing as well as thought provoking. Art is becoming more of an adventure for me and I am learning to use all three aspects of myself; spirit, soul and body in the making of creations that are often ending up so much more than I imagined at their beginnings. Part of the adventure is in learning to embrace using uncontrollable techniques and happy accidents."

Monica Womack and Jeanie E. Hines both shared stories of how God influenced them to create beautiful art work.
It was an inspirational evening hearing about their creative process! |

JEANIE E. HINES
A local Kansas City resident. The complexity and beauty of life and landscape inspires her. Whether it’s a gorgeous sunset, or merely the flash of bird wings in flight, she brushes on watercolors or blends and mixes. She especially enjoys the problem solving angle of painting and often works on her paintings in a section by section method. Watching them “become” balanced in composition, pleasant in contrasts of color by using a variety of application techniques is rewarding and rejuvenating. When a person viewing her work shares that it has connected by stirring a memory or an emotion, she feels the work has accomplished its purpose. |

MONICA WOMACK
Born in El Paso, TX but raised in Chihuahua, Mexico until she married and moved back to the U.S.A. At the age of 50 she encountered God and her life was changed. Now, Monica volunteers for a halfway house and is on an art team that functions inside of a 24/7 prayer room. Inspired by the bible, meditation and prayer takes her to a place where she becomes one with God. Monica says, “My artwork is like a door that I can open to a place where I meet and know the Master of Creation.” |
