Fall 2026 Student Response Exhibition (11th) Call for Entries
What is SRE?
The juried Student Response Exhibition (SRE) is an exhibition that provides all Miami University students, on any campus, from any department, and in any academic year, the opportunity to be creative and part of something unique. Students are not required to be art majors/minors or take an art class, only the desire to be creative and explore self-expression. This is the 11th SRE.
Prompt
Miami students are invited to creatively and/or critically express their views on individual and collective identities in the digital age. By showcasing unique perspectives through various forms of creativity, students can explore the concept of self by revealing how they relate to friends, family, and the broader world around them, or through other points of view.
Requirements
Students can submit up to three works for the juried process. Submissions can include paintings, photographs, sculpture, digital art, poetry, prints, ceramics, music, film/videos, jewelry, metals, or other forms of creative expression. Submissions through Google Form only. Digital image resolution no less than 355dpi. Limited A/V equipment provided. Individual artist submissions only. Students must be enrolled at Miami University during the Fall 2026 semester.
Awards
Cash awards sponsored by the Art Museum Membership Association will be awarded to the best three works selected by visitors to the show. A special reception and awards ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 18, 4:30-6 p.m., in the Hiestand Galleries. Cash awards are in the amounts of: 1st place $500; 2nd place $250; 3rd place $100.
