Call for Submissions:
The Image Centre is now accepting submissions for the Student Gallery. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, May 30, 2023. If you have any questions please contact The Image Centre Curatorial Coordinator, Sara Angelucci (s3angelu@torontomu.ca).
The Student Gallery showcases the art and curatorial practices of Toronto Metropolitan University’s current undergraduate and graduate students and recent alumni from all disciplines. Rigorous yet inclusive, the program engages audiences with important issues through group or solo exhibitions of contemporary art and historical lens-based media. Presenting six exhibitions per year, the Student Gallery provides valuable, professional experience in the curation and display of artwork.
The exhibitions are selected annually, following a call for submissions, by a committee comprised of staff members from The Image Centre, along with students and faculty members from the School of Image Arts.
