Join us for The Alliance Arts Festival at Council 2023 in Spokane. The event is being launched to celebrate the arts, integrate them into personal and corporate worship, and foster a deeper sense of community among Alliance creatives.
This is a chance to pay forward the creative gifts God gave you by helping others deepen their walk with Jesus through the arts. It’s also an iron-sharpening-iron networking opportunity for Alliance artists to connect, collaborate, and co-create through a variety of media.
Participants are invited to submit their work in the areas of cinematic, visual, and language arts. Submissions will be accepted between February 1 and April 7, 2023. To qualify, all works must have been completed after May 2021 (the date of the previous Alliance Council). Submissions deemed by the judges to be gratuitously vulgar, violent, or sexual in nature will be disqualified from entry.
The cost per Submission is $15. Multiple submissions may be entered.
