"Sacred Earth Sacred Responsibility"

THE GALLERY AT MORNING STAR 

CALL FOR ART 

2026 Spring Exhibition

There is a connection between us and the Earth, a Divine current that runs through us both, a symbiotic relationship that calls one to care for the other. The upcoming exhibit “Sacred Earth / Sacred Responsibility”, invites artists to explore the profound relationship between humanity and the planet we call home. We are seeking work that recognizes Earth as a sacred living being, and prompts reflection on our shared duty to protect, honor, and restore it. Show us your spiritual or ancestral connections to land and water. Share with us places of ecological justice, grief, fragility or resilience. Gift us with your  vision of a future shaped by stewardship, care and repair. The Earth gives us all that we need, protecting it is the ultimate recognition of its grand and never ending wonder.
