Fall 2023 Student Response Exhibition Call for Entries
Theme
It's Our World: The Art of Environmental Awareness
A Student Response Exhibition
PREMISE
In this eighth juried Student Response Exhibition (SRE), Miami University students are called upon to creatively respond to a theme - the Environment. This Fall 2023 SRE, It's Our World, will be one of two exhibitions during the 2023-2024 academic year developed in conjunction with Miami University's FOCUS theme of Environmental Justice led by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability.
Students are asked to creatively reflect and respond to our changing environment. This exhibition is intended to elicit responses that illustrate how creative expression can be used to observe, understand, represent, and draw attention to environmental issues that face the individual and the collective in this one world we share. Interpretations are subject to the student's personal perspective, major/minor, year of study, culture, age, and experiences.
As a juried exhibition, all works will be selected through a formal process by a committee. Three works in the exhibition will receive cash awards based on votes cast by visitors to the exhibition. Winners will be announced at a special reception on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, during a public awards ceremony. It's Our World will be on display at the Miami University Art Museum August 22–December 9, 2023.
