Creche Fest 2025
Call For Entries
Application Deadline: November 25, 2025
What is this? Creche Fest is an annual art exhibition in which community members are invited to reflect on the foundational truths of the Christmas season and express those thoughts and feelings in their artwork. This year’s theme – My Heart, My Treasure – is based on the second chapter of Luke. After the angel visited the shepherds and they had heard the praise of the heavenly host, they went to find the baby, the Messiah, they had been told about. Mary listened to their story and “Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.” We hope that you will explore the treasures of your heart and convey them in your art. Our team will review the submissions and the finalists will have their art on display throughout the buildings and grounds of FSBC. Please read all the rules and guidelines before submitting your application.
