Call for Submissions: 12th Annual Undergraduate Juried Exhibition
The Department of Art & Art History is calling upon the entire Stanford undergraduate community to participate in our annual campus-wide undergraduate art exhibition, which will be on display at the Stanford Art Gallery in Fall 2026.
Submissions are due by midnight on Monday, June 1, 2026.
Overview
Undergraduate students can submit up to three works of any medium, from which a distinguished panel of jury members will select the most original, accomplished, expressive, and meaningful. Previous editions of this exciting event have generated a tremendous response and greater numbers of visitors than any other Stanford art exhibit.
All artistic mediums are welcome, including painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, works on paper, sculpture, ceramics, installation art, digital media, video, and performance. There are no size restrictions. We encourage students to visit the Stanford Art Gallery (re-opens May 12) before applying to assess the feasibility of their projects.
