About
The Student Union Building Fine Arts Program is actively seeking artists eager to amplify their voices and illuminate the vibrant tapestry of the Asian American experience in Idaho. The contributions of Asian American Idahoans have undeniably shaped our state’s history, and this is a space to celebrate and showcase these significant influences.
We invite you to submit your artwork and become a part of this historical narrative. Your creative expression will contribute to a broader understanding and appreciation of the Idaho Asian American experience. Let your voice and experiences be heard through your art, as we strive to create a compelling showcase that reflects the diversity and impact of this community.
We are looking for artists who can engage diverse audiences and who fuel civic discourse. We embrace all subject matter and encourage the exploration of cultural, identity, and social issues. All genres and media are welcome, including but not limited to sculpture, photography, painting, fiber art, metalwork, installation and ephemeral works; all styles are welcome, from the traditional to the conceptual.
Eligibility
To be eligible for consideration, you and your artwork must be available to meet all the exhibition deadlines listed above. Submitted entries should be original work, reflect the overall theme, and be exhibition ready. Artists who have applied before but have never exhibited are encouraged to continue with new submissions. There is no limit on the number of pieces of work accepted; however, be mindful that the gallery space is approximately 900 square feet. All artwork must fit through the building and gallery doors and be able to be handled by a maximum of two persons.
