Thank you for your interest in exhibiting art at the Gallery at Lifebridge Sanctuary (GALS).
We are seeking artists to exhibit wall-hung artwork of colorful and evocative natural beauty.
The exhibits should satisfy two criteria:
1. Support the mission of Lifebridge Foundation: to promote the concept of the interconnectedness ofall life and one humanity.
2. Support Lifebridge Foundation’s role as an NGO (non-governmental organization) associated with theDepartment of Public Information of the United Nations.
Our work is toproduce educational programs and exhibits to further awareness of the UN’s missionand its multitude of programs, services and agencies.
Please keep our mission and our UN affiliation in mind as you select work for exhibition consideration at the Gallery at Lifebridge Sanctuary.
The General Assembly of the United Nations has agreed to a new set of 17 Goals which were adopted by the UN at a Special Summit in September, 2015. The Sustainable Development Goals are plans to achieve measureable targets by 2030. The Sustainable Development Goals have the potential to become a focus for forces of goodwill – in civil society as well as within national governments, local governments, business and professional groups.
The themes of the Goals as a whole are all encompassing and the art we are seeking can reflect any of the themes. There are many websites to learn more about the goals.
