Call for Work: Redefining Identity

Stamps in Color (SiC) is a student led organization dedicated to increasing the creative, social, and professional opportunities of peers, faculty, and staff of color at the Stamps School of Art & Design. SiC organizes an annual winter semester exhibition at the Duderstadt Gallery in partnership with the U-M MLK Symposium. The 2017 exhibition theme: Redefining Identity.

This theme is an opportunity to reject/reveal/debunk society's definitions of identity and replace it with one's own vision through a variety of mediums. Judges will look for artwork that best portrays an individual's sense of self awareness, ability to challenge misconceptions of ethnic groups, and best expression of personal or group identities. You don't have to be a Stamps School of Art & Design student to apply; this opportunity is open to both graduate and undergraduate students at U-M. All students are invited and encouraged to submit up to two pieces to the show.

Deadline to submit work is December 31, 2016 at 10 pm EST.
Accepted work will be announced January 1, 2017 via email.
Accepted work will need to be delivered to Duderstadt Gallery on January 6 and 7, 2017.
Exhibition Dates: January 9 - 21, 2017
Reception: Monday, January 16, 2017 from 7 - 8 pm
