Environmental Art Show – Call for Art!

The Weinberg Memorial Library is seeking submissions for our annual exhibit of Environmental Art.

The art show will be held in the Charles Kratz Scranton Heritage Room on the 5th floor of the Weinberg Memorial Library from April 14-25, 2023. In addition to the physical exhibit, we will be offering the option to also exhibit virtually. The virtual exhibit will debut online on April 14, 2023.

Submissions are open to all and we encourage submissions by University of Scranton students, staff, faculty, and alumni.

Environmental Art promotes the natural beauty of our environment and the ideal practice of sustainable living through artworks of all types, including painting, photography, repurposed goods, sculpture, video and more.

Welcome to My World is the theme for 2023. We encourage artists to consider developing artwork around this year’s theme. Share your vision of how you see the world, how the state of the environment affects you and others, how you interact with the environment, or how you incorporate sustainable living and care for our common home in your daily life.

The deadline for all submissions is set for Wednesday, March 31st, 2023. All physical works of art can be dropped off at the Library Services Desk on the 1st floor of the Library. All artwork is returned after the art show ends.
