Description

Class of 2020 Alumni Exhibition
Call for Entries

2020 was a challenging year for everyone in the Houghton University community. The COVID 19 pandemic caused significant disruptions in our academic endeavors and traditions. Notably, Art Majors missed out on having a Senior Thesis Show (at least in physical form). Houghton student artists demonstrated their resilience and adaptability by completing their thesis projects in spite of these obstacles, and shared their work in virtual form, via online galleries and websites. Nevertheless, we all missed being able to share handshakes and hugs, and congratulate you in person!As a small gesture of appreciation for your perseverance, hard work, and artistic talents, The Office of Alumni Engagement and the Houghton University Art Galleries are pleased to invite submissions of visual artwork from Houghton University Class of 2020 Art Majors. 
This Exhibition will be on display in the Wesley Chapel Art Gallery from September 4 - October 4, 2025. 
A Closing Reception will be held the evening of Saturday, October 4, as part of the 2025 Homecoming festivities.
Please submit 4-6 works for our consideration. Once we determine which pieces to include, we will notify you and arrange shipping and/or drop-off details. The selection process will be conducted by Ian Campbell, Director of Exhibitions, and Caleb Choate, Director of Alumni Engagement. All media and techniques are welcome, including, but not limited to: Painting, Photography, Graphic Design, Video, Animation, Drawing, Printmaking, Sculpture, Ceramics, Performance, etc. Entries are due August 11. We will let you know which pieces are accepted by August 18.  Selected pieces must be in the gallery by September 2.
