Calling all Artists: Mapping Mystery March 28th --April 13th (Johnson Heritage Post)
What topic would promote reflection and expression around issues of creativity, spirituality and life in the north? Our committee came up with “Mapping Mystery.” So many of our best stories, we realized, about trips into the woods (or the world) recount surprises, challenges, even calamities. (Stories from folks in the BWCAW on July 4th, 1999 are collected into a book; stories of people who were there a week earlier are not!)
“Mapping Mystery”—some have been mystified by the topic (!) and have asked for ways to think about it. Here’s one option: think about a time when an outdoor adventure (or other travel experience) met with the unexpected. What problem did you have to solve? What did you learn about the world and yourself from that experience? How might you express that artistically?
Another would be to relate “Mapping Mystery” to your artistic endeavors. Think of a time when you’ve been creating—in words, paint or clay—and you’ve run out of materials and been forced to try something new. (A themed show like this one aims to do just this—to provide a topic that will challenge artists to see and express from a new angle.)
Or “Mapping Mystery” could be taken more symbolically. We want our life journeys to be smooth, but most of us have hit bumps: a frightening diagnosis, a relationship break up, or a loss. We don’t choose these disruptions; we wish they would go away. Yet when we look back, five or ten years later, we see that those experiences have been formative. What have you experienced that has re-shaped, strengthened and deepened you? How might you express this artistically?
Our show encourages artists to consider the intersection of creativity and spirituality. What does “Mapping Mystery” have to do with spirituality? While hard to define, spirituality is that in us which ‘rises to the occasion,’ that finds resources we didn’t know we had. Spirituality is about the sense we all have that “there’s more to life than meets the eye.”
We invite artists to express this in clay, paint, film, words, music, glass, fabric, etc. All work must be original and made for this show. For more information, see our website www.spiritofthewilderness.org. RSVP your participation by March 14th to [email protected].

Call For Artists!
After four years collaborating with the Grand Marais Art Colony on a spring themed exhibit, Spirit of the Wilderness Episcopal Church will continue to host an annual show focusing on the overlap between creativity and spirituality. This annual show is called Entry Points to the Creative, and will be held March 28-April 13, at the Johnson Heritage Post.
The theme for this year’s show is:
Mapping Mystery
Well Marked paths and good compass readings can be a matter of life and death in the North Woods. Yet the unexpected—storms, lost maps, unforeseen calamities---change who we are, in our wilderness ventures and our inward journeys. How does your creative process parallel your exploration toward the transcendent? In what uncharted territory have you found yourself?
We invite artists to express this in clay, paint, film, words, music, glass, fabric, etc. All work must be original and made for this show. Artists may submit two works maximum. Pieces must be framed and ready to hang. 40” max. 3D items will need a pedestal. Artists will fill out a registration form with price included. A percentage will go the The Johsnson Heritage Post. Work can be dropped at The Johnson Heritage Post between 9 and noon March 24th or 25th.
RSVP your participation by March 14th to:

What is Spiritual Direction?
A spiritual director is a companion on the way--someone who will listen, hold a space open for feelings, ask pertinent questions-to help us see where God is at work in their lives.
The tradition goes back hundreds of years and has recently emerged as a movement to help people reflect more deeply on their lives.
WindCradle offers spiritual direction for their guests as well as for those who are interested in having a companion on their spiritual journey.
To schedule a session or for more information, contact WindCradle toll free-1.866.586.2224-or at 218.387.1536
