Gratitude is a multidisciplinary call for original visual art, music, poetry, and spoken word inspired by the personal experience of gratitude. Co-presented by the Iredell Arts Council and the Center for Creative Theology, this unique project invites artists to explore what gratitude means through their own creative voice—whether quiet or joyful, simple or profound.

Selected works will be featured in a community exhibition, two public celebration events on November 4 (Visual Arts) and November 5 (Poetry, Spoken Word & Music), and published in The Art of Gratitude, a commemorative booklet celebrating the many creative expressions of thankfulness. Join us in creating a collection of art that inspires reflection, connection, and gratitude.
