The Benedictine Center in Maplewood is asking local artists to think creatively about their spirituality.

The center will host its fourth annual Juried Art Show this winter and is accepting submissions from area artists until Jan. 14, according to the center.

Called Seeing God, the works are meant to examine artists' experience of divinity. The various interpretations will be displayed from Jan. 29 through March 6.

Awards totaling $375 will be given to the top three winners.

Contest rules, guidelines and entry forms can be found at http://www.stpaulsmonastery.org. Click on the Benedictine Center tab followed by "Art and Spirituality."

Inquiries can be made by phone at 651-777-7251 or via email at benedictinecenter@stpaulsmonastery.org.

The Benedictine Center is located inside St. Paul's Monastery.

Its "Seeing God" show has attracted more than 100 local artists in its four-year history.
