Artists Needed to Design the On Earth Peace Poster
Each year On Earth Peace designs a poster as part of our Annual Report. The report on the back of the poster provides our constituents and donors with important information about our programming, expanding outreach, and financial development. However, it is the poster on the front side that they tend to look forward to the most! We see the posters in the entryways of churches, Sunday School classrooms, and offices. Some posters remain relevant and popular for years, encouraging peace.
This year we are inviting young adult artists and graphic artists affiliated with the Church of the Brethren to submit a design for the On Earth Peace poster related to the theme for the upcoming year.
The 2010-2011 theme is taken from Jeremiah 29: 4-7, 10-11:
4 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who were carried away captive, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters—that you may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you will have peace.
10 For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
