SUMMARY:Little Flower Art Contest
DESCRIPTION:2nd Annual Little Flower Art Contest\nCelebrating Young Artists and the Beauty of Faith \nThe Sacred Art Gallery is proud to announce the upcoming 2nd Annual Little Flower Art Contest\, an event dedicated to celebrating the artistic gifts of high school students while inspiring a deeper love for beauty\, faith\, and the fine arts. \nThe purpose of this contest is simple yet profound: to foster a love for beauty\, encourage the creative talents of young adults\, and plant seeds of faith through the transformative power of sacred art. By displaying student works in a professional gallery setting and awarding their efforts\, we aim to recognize their achievements and highlight the enduring importance of sacred art in our communities. \nWho Can Participate\nThe contest is open to all high school students participating through their schools (includes SCP\, NDP\, BCP\, Xavier\, VDM\, Regina Caeli\, St. Mary’s\, JPII\, and Bourgade) or nearby parish (Saint Timothy’s in Mesa and Saint Clare’s in Surprise). Each school or parish will host a jury of three representatives to select four outstanding works to send forward to The Sacred Art Gallery in Mesa for exhibition and awards consideration. \nWhat to Create\nThis year’s theme is “Stories of Hope – The Lives of the Saints.” Students are invited to reflect on the courage\, perseverance\, and holiness of the saints\, bringing their stories to life through visual art. \nSize: 12” x 16” or smaller \nMediums: watercolor\, oil\, acrylic\, pastel\, pencil\, charcoal\, or mixed media on canvas\, board\, or paper \nRequirement: All works must be ready to hang \nSale Option: Students may choose to sell their artwork for $120. If sold\, $70 will go directly to the student and $50 will benefit their school or parish. \nImportant Dates\nDecember 10\, 2025 – Artwork submitted to school/parish jury \nJanuary 10\, 2026 – Selected top 4 pieces from each school/parish delivered to The Sacred Art Gallery \nJanuary 17–31\, 2026 – Exhibition of student artwork at The Sacred Art Gallery; finalists for awards announced during this time \nJanuary 31\, 2026 – Reception & Award Ceremony at the gallery\, where prizes will be awarded to the top four works \nAwards & Community Support\nCash awards will be given to the four winning pieces\, recognizing excellence in creativity\, craftsmanship\, and expression of faith. In addition\, during Catholic Schools Week (January 25–31\, 2026)\, 15% of certain purchases made at The Sacred Art Gallery will be donated to the participating school or parish of the buyer’s choice. \nThe Little Flower Art Contest is more than just a competition—it is a celebration of the next generation of artists who continue the sacred tradition of honoring God through beauty. We invite families\, schools\, and the community to visit the exhibition\, support these students\, and be inspired by their creativity. \nFor more information\, please call (480) 946-1003 or email ask@thesacredartgallery.com.

SUMMARY:November Art Walk
DESCRIPTION:The Sacred Art Gallery Welcomes Jen Norton at Our November Art Walk\nJoin us for an evening of beauty and inspiration during The Sacred Art Gallery’s November Art Walk on Friday\, November 7\, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.\, as featured gallery artist Jen Norton shares her newest works. \nOnce a child crippled by fear and isolated from the world around her\, Jen Norton has emerged as an artist whose paintings overflow with color\, pattern\, and story. “To be too fearful to act is to deny God’s plan for your life\,” she reflects—a truth that infuses her art with courage and joy. \nWorking primarily in acrylics\, Norton uses expressive brushwork\, layered textures\, and rich color to reveal the sublime hidden in the ordinary. Her paintings honor the quiet strengths of the heart\, inspire fidelity to home and family\, and remind us that love is more than a feeling—it is a choice. \n“My prayer life is mostly the inspiration for my work\,” Norton says. “I am inspired by the stories of scripture and in how they are still just as alive today for me and for the world. Stories of light\, hope\, forgiveness\, and accompaniment.” Her newest pieces continue this mission: to reveal God’s presence in the everyday details of life and to remind us that beauty speaks most powerfully when it comes from the heart. \nWhat to expect\nMeet the Artist – Spend time with Jen Norton\, hear firsthand about her journey\, and discover the inspiration behind her latest body of work. \nNew Works on Display – Be among the first to experience recently unveiled paintings\, each infused with faith\, narrative\, and radiant color. \nArt Booths – Browse and connect with local artists and vendors whose creativity adds vibrancy to our gallery evenings. \nSacred Art Raffle – Enter ($30 for 1\, $60 for 3) for your chance to win this original matted and framed piece by Jen: \n \nI Baptize You  44″x37″ \nWhether you’re a longtime admirer of sacred art or new to the gallery\, join us in downtown Mesa to celebrate fellowship\, creativity\, and the joy of faith expressed through color and story. Let Jen Norton’s newest works remind us that God is present\, not only in grand gestures\, but also in the everyday details of our lives. \nAdmission is free. All are welcome.
