Beauty that Remains

Beauty that Remains is an exhibition fundraiser hosted by Project Lab and Kingdom Bound Ministries centered on faith, restoration, and the enduring presence of God through hardship and renewal. We are seeking submissions of faith-based works that reflect themes of grace, redemption, community, healing, and the beauty that remains through difficult seasons. 

Proceeds from the exhibition will support the transformation of a long-closed school building into the new Sheridan Parkside Life Center - a space dedicated to connection, creativity, and care for the surrounding community.

Through every season of rebuilding, beauty remains — because God remains.

This pop up exhibition will be from 11am - 4pm September 19th, 2026.

Application deadline is August 17th, 2026 at 11:59pm EST.

Kingdom Bound Ministries and Project Lab invites artists to submit work for Beauty That Remains, a fundraising exhibition centered on faith, restoration, and the enduring presence of God through seasons of hardship, rebuilding, and hope.

This exhibition is part of an ongoing effort to help transform a long-closed school building into a new Community Life Center for the Sheridan Parkside neighborhood — a space dedicated to connection, care, creativity, and renewal for the surrounding community.

We are seeking submissions of faith-based works that reflect the truth that even through chaos, grief, uncertainty, and brokenness, God’s grace and mercy remain. We welcome artwork that explores themes of restoration, redemption, peace, resilience, compassion, healing, and the beauty that survives difficult seasons.

This call especially encourages works that speak to community — the ways people come together to rebuild, support one another, and carry hope forward. Whether symbolic, abstract, deeply personal, or narrative-driven, selected works should invite reflection while ultimately pointing toward hope and restoration.

Just as this building is being revived for new purpose, this exhibition celebrates the ways God restores what has been forgotten, worn down, or left behind.
