Submit now to the TAKE CARE themed Art Competition!
The Arts Initiative is seeking student artwork for a juried art exhibition on the theme "Take Care." Students from all U-M campuses of all majors are encouraged to apply! Accepted mediums include visual art of all forms (including both 2D and 3D art), video, performance, and literary arts. Artwork should engage with the theme “Take Care” in one or more of the following ways:
Caring for oneself and others during challenging times
Self and community-healing as a form of collective resilience
How “taking care” and self-expression can help create a world we all want to live in
Selected artwork will travel, and be displayed at the Riverbank Arts Center on UM-Flint’s campus in January and February, and at the Duderstadt Center Gallery on Ann Arbor’s North Campus in April. Events will take place in Ann Arbor and Flint to celebrate and honor the work of the artists.
Submissions are open to all undergraduate and graduate students on all U-M campuses - Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint - who are enrolled for the 2024-2025 academic year. This exhibition welcomes artwork from students of all backgrounds and areas of study. Students do not need to be studying art or have any formal training in artmaking in order to apply.
