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.

From birth to death, life is an ongoing experience of growth and change. We all face challenges, obstacles, and circumstances that force us to reach out in new directions. But how do we embrace change in a manner that is meaningful? What does it take to grow in bold, dynamic, and affirmative ways? How do we avoid stagnation or defeat?

Whether it is human beings navigating the unknown, plants finding their way through concrete, or the universe expanding, we are all participating in an interconnected process of growth and evolution. How might we do so in a way that is wise and fruitful?

In our 2026 Multifaith Calendar, Growth and Change, we invite artists to reflect deeply on these perennial questions and to channel their visions of growth and change into artwork that personifies, among other things, personal development, self-discovery, and self-reflection… striving to build deeper connections within as well as reaching out to the world around us.

Submission Guidelines: Artists can submit up to 5 works for consideration and artwork on this theme can be submitted in any medium. All artists are invited to submit including those who have never been featured in the Calendar and those who have been featured in past editions. Ultimately, the interpretation of the theme will be determined by the overall collection of images received.

How We Pay Artists: Selected artists will be offered an honorarium of $250 per monthly calendar image, $500 for the cover image, and $100 for smaller inset images placed throughout the Calendar. In addition, featured artists will receive a set of complimentary Calendars once published.

How to Submit Entries: Submit digital images (up to 5) in low resolution (jpg/72dpi) to: artsubmissions@multifaithaction.org

Should a piece be chosen, we will contact the artist and request a high resolution version of the image (min 400 dpi).
