About

Student competitions and exhibitions are your opportunity to share your artistic voice and creativity, exhibit your work for the University community and sometimes even win prizes! Arts competitions and exhibitions are held periodically throughout the year, with calls for art using different themes and mediums.

Pierpont Poetry Project

Check out the Pierpont Poetry Project! 50 student-written poems are on display throughout Pierpont Commons. The poems were all inspired by the theme “seeking” but interpreted in many different ways - they explore themes of love, justice, family, loss, hope, identity, and more. Explore the building and find all the poems - for every poem you log, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a Literati Bookstore gift card!
