The Wally Douma Student Art Gallery and the Murray 21 Student Art Gallery are accepting submissions to be displayed on the walls of the 9th Floor of 333 East Campus Mall as well as the 5th thru 7th Floors of 21 N. Park Street, from November 2024 – May 2025.
The submission deadline is Friday, November 18th, 2024.
The call is open to all artists with preference given to current UW-Madison or Madison College students. A student jury will award a $500 scholarship for the best entry and $250 scholarships for two runners-up (UW-Madison students only).
The exhibition will highlight original fine art. There is limited space for sculptural work in addition to 2D pieces.
The theme for the gallery is The Surreal World. Pieces should exhibit the strange, dreamlike, and allow visitors to let their imaginations run wild and immerse themselves in a world where reality is bent and broken.
The exhibit jury is composed of a team of at least four UW-Madison students under the direction of the Lead Curator of the Gallery.
To be considered, please provide:
- A maximum of 6 works of art (up to 3 images per piece) titled LastName_Piece# (e.g. Doe_02)
- A written list of submissions, including title, date, dimensions, and medium
- An artist bio that can be displayed along with the work
Please submit all documents to email@example.com by Friday, November 18th, 2024.
Important Disclaimers: All art will be exhibited in the hallways and public spaces of the 9th floor of 333 East Campus Mall or the 5th thru 7th floors of 21 N. Park Street. Pieces can arrive wall-ready or framed upon delivery by the OSFA. The office is open during building hours. There is no security system present for the selected works, though the office does not present a clear danger to the proposed works of art. Artists absorb all risk to the exhibited artwork. The pieces exhibited do not reflect the values and mission of the OSFA or the greater University of Wisconsin-Madison. They serve to further a mission of artistic integration in administrative spaces and the creation of student artist and curatorial opportunities.
