We are seeking Smith Campus Center staff who want to show their creative endeavors and artwork to participate in the Smith Campus Center Staff Art Show, a two-week-long exhibition celebrating the creative work of staff throughout the building.

The show will be open Wednesday, January 29 through Thursday, February 14, 2020 in the Arts Wing of Smith Campus Center, with an opening reception on Wednesday, January 29 from 3pm-5pm.

Applications:

  • Submissions can range from photography and painting to conceptual pieces, sculpture, design, textiles, and more.
  • Applications will require a digital photo of your submission, dimensions of the artwork,  your title and location in Smith Campus Center, and a short description of the work. If your submission will require special setup to display (such as a costume or fashion piece, or a work that requires electricity), please describe the setup and how you plan to provide it.
  • To apply, please visit commonspaces.harvard.edu/SCCStaffArtShow by November 15, 2019, 11:59pm
  • Not all submissions may be displayed. We ask that participants remain aware of the show’s commitment to inclusion, belonging, and the community of the Smith Campus Center, as well as the physical limitations of the space.

Other ways to get involved:

  • We are also seeking Smith Campus Center performing artists to perform during the Opening Reception.
  • If you are interested in joining the Art Show Steering Committee, please email commonspaces@harvard.edu. Volunteers will be active contributors to bi-weekly Committee meetings, help curate the exhibition, and support various tasks including installation, opening reception, and deinstallation of the show.
