2026 Multifaith Calendar
a
Call for Submissions Now Open... Deadline: 31 January 2025
Each year artists are invited to submit works of art for the publication of the upcoming Multifaith Calendar.
The Multifaith Action Society (MAS) would like to extend a gracious note of thanks to all artists who submitted pieces for the 2025 Multifaith Calendar - Pathways to Peace
The theme for the upcoming 2026 edition is: Growth and Change
Theme Overview / Description...
Once again, our theme is intended to be open to the artist's inspiration and imagination.
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.
2026 Multifaith Calendar - Growth and Change… Please submit your art (up to 5 individual pieces) in any medium that personifies our theme.
We would like to include many different interpretations of Resilience, which together will create a beautiful and visually cohesive Calendar. All artists are invited to contribute, including those who have had their work showcased with us in the past.
General Submission Parameters:
Each year, MAS invites visual artists to submit works of art for publication in our upcoming Multifaith Calendar. Work on this theme can be in any medium. The interpretation of the theme will be determined by the overall collection of images received.

Look around – what in this world could not benefit from a little more love and compassion? Think about your neighbourhood, office, city, country, world – everyone benefits from an outpouring of love and compassion. No matter where we live, or what the circumstances, we all have emotional, physical or spiritual experiences. But bringing love and compassion to any situation is a balm for body and soul.
Erich Fromm writes: “Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.” Think about all the places you bring love.
· You can love your garden. And share the harvest with friends.
· You can extend warmth and kindness to a stranger.
· What about bringing tenderness and compassion to someone who is ill by reading to them aloud.
· Or how about when we offer to help a neighbourhood by walking their dog when they are time strapped.
There are so many ways, big and small, we all extend love and compassion everyday.
Show us how you experience and extend love and compassion through your art.
