Call To WNY Art Teachers

UB's Department of Art will for the first time ever, be hosting an exhibition of Western New York High School TEACHERS' artworks.

This exhibition is meant to complement our annual Western New York High School Student Art Exhibtion, which will continue in 2025.  The young artists of our region are inspired and well-instructed by incredible local artists who have dedicated their time and creative energies to education. We would like to honor and admire these teachers, and the work they are creating for their own purposes.

Eligibility

  • All fine art and design; 2D, 3D, and digital media, will be accepted.
  • Open to all art teachers at a K-12 school. We are focusing on high school art teachers since our contacts list contains those, and this show will be in sequence with our WNYHS Student Art Exhibtion, immediately following this Teachers show in our Lower Gallery.
  • Teacher (Artists) self-nominate and currier work-- must instruct at a high school within Western New York.
  • Limit of 3 works per artist.

ENTRY

Self-Nominating Registration Form

Registration Deadline: Thursday, November 14, 2024

Art, design, and technology teachers nominate their own work, and are responsible for delivering and retrieving those works from the  Center for the Arts, on UB North Campus. See more info on right.

The following artwork information form must be completed digitally, in addition to the artwork tag (see below) to be attached physically to delivered works. 

Submission Form

Artwork Entry Tag

Please fill out the PDF below and attach the corresponding information securely to each artwork for drop-off. It is extremely important that all the information is complete, legible and firmly attached to the works.

Thank you!

Artwork Entry Tag
Preparing Work for Drop-off
  1. Print and fill out the Artwork Entry Tag and securely attach to each of the corresponding works. All works must have the top side clearly marked. 
  2. Frames are highly encouraged for 2D works. Works submitted on a backing board must be securely attached (we have found double stick tapes and tape in general does not often hold up over the life of the show).
  3. All works that are wall mounted should have stable hardware for hanging or margins so the work may be displayed with exhibition pins or magnets. 
  4. All free standing 3D work should be able to stand on its' own whether on a pedestal or the floor. 
  5. Unique methods of display are welcome, however please provide written instructions, photos, or diagrams on how it is to be displayed attached to the piece.
