Call for children to be used as models.
These children will depict different cultures within the Body of Christ.
Bridgette Mongeon often uses images of real children in her sculptures. "It makes the creations more personal and gives them life," she states. For example, Brandon (left), from Houston, Texas, was chosen as a model for the Romans 7: 4-25 piece after his parents submitted a completed form and a photograph of him.
These up and coming multi cultural God's Word Collectible sculptures are inspired by the artists invitation to the 2nd annual multicultural ministry conference of the Texas Episcopal decease, along with the artists involvement in her own multicultural church, her work with missions in South Africa, and her interest in the Native American culture. “Culture does not have to be abandoned for faith, and many churches and individuals have learned to incorporate their culture within their services and spiritual life. I want to create sculptures that celebrate and honors these differences within the church,” states the artist.
Children of all cultures, German, Chinese, Inuit, African, Indian, and many others are all welcome to apply. To participate submit photographs of your child or grandchild in traditional clothing for the artists review.
If your child is between the ages of newborn and five years and you would like him or her considered for these new God's Word collectible sculptures, please complete the form below and include 2-4 photographs including one front view , one side view showing your child in traditional clothes of your culture praying singing and/or worshiping. Photographs are not returned, good photocopies are accepted.
Bridgette will notify you if your child is chosen. There is no monitary compensation; however, a sculpture once complete, will be provided to each winning entry.
