Call for artists! Submissions are open for our next art display! Submission deadline is November 2nd, you will find the link to submit on our linktree. Submit your work, and share this with any and all of your artist friends and community.

THE IMPRINT OF FAITH - WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN, WHAT HAS BEEN TAKEN

Faith. Religion. Worship. Spirituality.

Each have left an imprint on many of our lives, often by shaping our communities, our cultures, and even our mental health. For some, faith has given hope, peace, belonging, and resilience. For others, it has been twisted with trauma, shame, exclusion, or loss. Sometimes, it is both.

As artists, we have the opportunity to explore and share these experiences through a multitude of mediums and ideas. Through art, we can examine the ways faith and spirituality have influenced our identities, relationships, and understanding of the world.

For this exhibition at Zeitgeist, we invite you to submit (or create) work that reflects how or why the role that faith, religion, or spirituality has played in your life. This may include organized religion, personal spirituality, cultural traditions, or any belief system that has shaped your life, your community, or your mental well-being.

During this holiday season, we aim to support thoughtful conversation through art. What has faith, religion, or spirituality given you? What has it taken away? How has it changed the way you see yourself and the world around you?

Zeitgeist is an escape from the usual. If you're looking for warm vibes, and a need to be immersed in art, creativity, and excellent cocktails, look no further.

Step out of the mundane and into the glow of Durham’s unconventional heart. Zeitgeist is an escape, a portal to another place. Here, local art, community, and a dash of magic collide.

We present rotating group shows that have earned more than $20,000 in artist commissions. Grab a drink, explore work by more than fifty artists, and find your people. Whether you’re here for the queer, the unexpected, or the wonderfully creative—you’ve found home.
