Create & Gather is a two-day community arts gathering, whose goal is to set a table for artists to display, share, perform, & sell their works.
We are currently inviting local artists to submit their pieces either for the gallery/silent auction, or for performance during our live “in the round.”
Create & Gather is a subsidiary of Rez Arts and is hosted by Resurrection Anglican Church.
100% of proceeds from the silent auction will go to the artist.
OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS
We encourage submissions from a variety of mediums, including but not limited to: painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, printmaking, sculpture, jewelry, textile/fiber work, music, poetry, & storytelling.
Please fill out a submission form that best corresponds to your piece.
Guidelines for submissions can be found on the forms.
Deadline for submission is July 6th, 2026.
Note: Live performers will perform in our “in the round” event on Friday, August 14th.
100% proceeds from the silent auction will go to artists.

ANTHONY QUAILS
This year’s special guest artist for our Friday, Aug. 14th live event is Anthony Quails.
In his own words, Anthony Quails “can’t get away from being a storyteller.” As a troubadour with over 20 years of songwriting experience, Quails taps into folk tradition while imparting his own gentle insights to create songs that feel timeless and universal without being trite.
