Call to TAS Artists

You, My Favorite: A Temporary Gallery Show

July 31, 2026, Essence San Diego, Chula Vista

ENTRIES DUE: July 15, 2026

Using the subject matter of our own favorite things and how they make us feel as context, this gallery seeks to reveal to contributors and viewers alike how God feels about them, and their art. As we wrestle with the idea that we are all somehow mysteriously God's favorite children, and God's favorite artists, the gallery is soliciting exploration of the themes of value, joy, permission, potential and love.

We are seeking work that celebrates that art is worth making, beauty is worth sharing, and every person carries creative potential waiting to be seen. We hope that people leave understanding that Our Creator is waiting impatiently and excitedly for our next creation to be completed in the same way we are waiting for our favorite artist's album, show, movie, or written work to come out.

Accepted mediums include: painting, drawing, photography, video, poetry, short-form writing, graphic design (print or digital), music, theatre, floral art, and mixed-media. Live music or readings or performances are possible, and digital recordings (rough demos welcome) are also encouraged (patrons will use QR codes with their phone and headphones).
