2027 Multifaith Calendar
a
Call for Submissions Now Open... Deadline: 31 January 2026
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 2026 Multifaith Calendar - Growth and Change
The theme for the upcoming 2027 edition is: Moments of Hope
Theme Overview / Description... 
Once again, our theme is intended to be open to the artist's inspiration and imagination.
The world’s many mounting challenges include drastic climate change, war and conflict, widening inequality, and intensifying natural disasters. Yet even amidst the darkness, glimmers of hope remain, reminding us of the potential for a brighter, more connected future.
What are the moments of hope that help bring this future into focus, and leave you feeling renewed, refreshed, and ready to grapple with the challenges of our time? It may be as simple as the peaceful view of ducks on a pond, or the sun’s rays breaking dramatically through the clouds. Perhaps it is a trailblazing young leader at the forefront of a new social movement, a thoughtful, well-timed word or action from a trusted friend, or even just a child’s wondrous innocence.
These moments of hope inspire us to be better human beings – and remind us that a just, sustainable, and prosperous future on this Earth is well worth fighting for.
2027 Multifaith Calendar - Moments of Hope... 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.
