In the Company of Artists: An Exhibition of Art and Fine Crafts By UNH Staff

The University Museum in Dimond Library announces its second campus-wide staff arts and fine crafts exhibition, September 13 – December 13, 2013. The exhibit will recognize our creative colleagues for work they do outside their day (or night) jobs at UNH. Original art and fine crafts in any media will be considered.

Eligible staff: all faculty (see exception) and staff, full and part-time, hourly and benefits eligible. Exception: studio arts faculty who have opportunities to exhibit their work in the UNH Museum of Art.

The small size of the University Museum restricts the number of works that can be exhibited. An anonymous jury will make selections using the blind jury process (applicants' names will be removed from the forms for the jury process). For those artists selected for participation, not more than one work will be included in the exhibition.

Applicants may submit up to two entries, must complete attached Call for Entry form , and send a photo image of each entry to dale.valena@unh.edu. All entry forms with photos must be received no later than the deadline of July 15, 2013. If you prefer, you can mail your form and photo to the University Museum, Dimond Library, 18 Library Way, Durham, NH 03824 by the July 15 deadline.
