Calling all Fabric/Textile Artists

National Exhibition at Mennonite Church Canada Assembly in Calgary

Current Exhibit

May 1 to June 19: The Buffalo Creek Artists live and work in an area of Manitoba called Rhineland. They represent the rich culture of its towns and villages, and the land between the Red River and the Pembina escarpment. Exploring the enduring elements of this landscape—poplar trees, languid creeks, scraps of old tools, crops and gardens, the whimsy of nature, weathered faces—they mine the legacy of their Germanic forebears, and look beyond to imagined places that would stir the root-bound soul of past generations.

In the Spirit of Humanity is a multilayered MHC Gallery project. The first layer was revealed in January 2009 as Manju Lodha and I had an exhibition together in Jaipur, India. Rajasthan artist Dr. M.K. Sharma helped make our exhibition possible at the beautiful Jawahar Kala Kendra Art Centre. Following, Manju, Isam Aboud and I gave presentations and led art workshops for several months in schools and adult EAL (English as an Additional Language) programs throughout Winnipeg. Of the more than 1,000 students who participated, nearly 500 contributed art to the In the Spirit of Humanity Student Exhibition which took place earlier this year. Now it is the presenters turn to be featured in an exhibition.

MHC Gallery Vision

The Mennonite Heritage Centre Gallery works side by side with the Mennonite Heritage Centre Archives to link history with the present and future. We wish to link the ethnic past to the multiethnic now and tomorrow through shared faith and ideals. The MHC Gallery joins Mennonite History with art in order to stimulate and keep alive Anabaptist/Mennonite distinctives built on faith, perseverance and obedience.

We share our world, country and community with people from myriad cultures. Just as the church is diverse, so too Christian artists reflect that diversity. Just as Mennonite artists within the church have often not found a relevant place, neither have Christian artists from immigrant or refugee communities or those from the developing world. The MHC Gallery offers all these artists a place to exhibit their creativity.

This mix of art, artists and cultures points to a foundation of Mennonite history and faith flowing into a cornucopia of varied expression nurtured from and heralding the same source, God.
