Exhibition

de Young Museum Exhibition: Student Showcase
Call for art: Submissions due March 2016

OVERVIEW

(Information provided by James Housefield, for the New Directions Committee at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco)

The Student Showcase is a weekend-long student centered celebration of art and design that includes a small exhibition, presentations, and a symposium that focuses on artistic enrichment, art-historical perspectives, and performing arts, highlighting specific time periods or specific exhibitions.

Goals of Student Showcase: To provide students with a real-life artist experience through the process of applying, exhibiting in an art museum; To provide exposure to emerging artists; To empower students by bringing them into an established art venue where they must represent their work and themselves as artists; To collaborate and build close relationships with neighboring universities; To promote networking  between students and universities.

We welcome works of art and design in any medium that can be performed or displayed safely inside the museum.

I welcome your questions, and challenge you to integrate this creatively into your projects for fall and winter quarter. The events in April are usually a festive time for students and faculty. UC Davis has  a strong tradition of student success in this annual event, from our students’ designs being used as publicity materials to our students winning top awards at the exhibit.

THEME

sanc*tu*ary:
#seekingsanctuary

The theme of sanctuary and the hashtag #seekingsanctuary are deliberately capacious and open-ended in hopes this can mesh with many things.
