A limited number of works will be accepted.

The theme of this exhibition is diversity. April is National Diversity month so we are asking, what makes you, you? As members of WIU, we all come from different backgrounds. We have our own passions and see a very specific reality. Along with your piece, please provide an artist statement about how this piece represents your diversity. The deadline for entry is Friday March 3rd, 2017. Applicants will be notified by Friday March 10th, 2017 if their works have been accepted.

Drop off of works will be Thursday March 23rd, 2017, 9am-4:30pm and Friday March 24th, 9am-4:30pm at the reception desk in the Atrium of Building C. The show will last from Monday April 3rd - Sunday April 30th
