The Lobby Gallery at UBC’s Liu Institute for Global Issues invites artists and researchers involved in arts-based endeavors to submit solo or group exhibition proposals for display from Jan-Aug 2024. Our theme, Art as a Vehicle for Social Change, showcases the role art can play in raising awareness, inspiring action, and driving change.
Who can apply?
Artists and researchers involved in arts-based endeavors are invited to apply. You do not need to be part of the UBC community to apply, but please note that preference will be given to projects from or related to current Liu Scholars and their work.
What’s expected?
Artists can apply for up to $1,500 and are responsible for delivering and installing their works, with support from the Lobby Gallery Curator.
Our objective is to showcase contemporary, politically driven artistic endeavors that employ visual and creative methods in arts and community-based research, primarily lens-based, but we also welcome submission of other mediums such as painting, drawing, installations, creative writing, poetry and music.
How do I apply?
Download the application form here, fill it out, and email it to lobby.gallery@ubc.ca. Your application should include applicant and exhibit information, artist biography, statement, exhibition proposal, ethics approval, programming description, budget, and images.
Deadline: October 20, 2023. We’ll notify selected artists by November 3, 2023.
We look forward to your submissions!
