BGSU 2023 Undergraduate Exhibition

The 71st Annual Undergraduate Art Exhibition is open to all Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior students formally admitted to BGSU in a degree-seeking program and enrolled in the School of Art between Summer 2022 and Spring 2023. Senior art students not submitting a 2023 BFA Thesis Exhibition are also eligible. Students may enter work made within the past two years in an Art Course under the supervision of a BGSU School of Art faculty member. Long-term projects or works-in-progress will not be shown. Works of extraordinary dimensions or requiring special equipment or space may be rejected due to Gallery limitations.

Applicants may submit up to six total entries, with a maximum of three entries per class category. Work must be entered in the correct class category as determined by the class in which it was made. Each entry represents one artwork, and applicants may submit up to three detail/views of that specific artwork. For Animation/Video/Interactive work, upload an image or screenshot and include a full URL link to Vimeo, YouTube, or a high-resolution folder of files in the media description. Submissions are made through CaFÉ at callforentry.org.

More than $3,000 in scholarships and prizes will be awarded, including The James W. Strong Tuition Scholarships, The Charles Lakofsky Art Award, The Craig A. Schnuth Memorial Art Glass Scholarship, The Silvia Passerini Davenport Award, The John and Norma Richards Design Award, The Medici Circle Best of Show Award, The College of Arts & Sciences Purchase Award, and The Alumni Association Award. The exhibition runs February 12-26, 2023 at the Dorothy Uber Bryan Gallery. Accepted artwork must remain in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition. Work in this exhibition is not insured. Artwork may be for sale; prices should include a 20% commission. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday 11am-4pm, Thursday 6pm-8pm, and Sunday 1pm-4pm.
