Boise State Student Affairs is currently accepting proposals for group or solo exhibitions in the Student Union Fine Art Gallery, at the top of the main stairs, and the Trueblood Pop Up Gallery, at the intersection of the SUB expansion. As student and community galleries, we are looking to feature a variety of emerging and established artists who engage with a variety of audiences and provoke new ideas. The SUB Galleries encourage the exploration of social issues, identity, and culture. All media and styles are welcome, including but not limited to sculpture, photography, painting, fiber art, metalwork, installation, new media, and ephemeral works.
To be eligible for consideration, you and your artwork must be available to meet all exhibition deadlines within an agreed upon contract. Submitted entries should be original work and reflect a cohesive intention. There is no limit on the number of pieces of work accepted; however, be mindful that each gallery is limited in linear feet. All artwork must fit through the building and elevator doors and be able to be handled by a maximum of two persons.
