Opportunity Description

U.S National Deadline: June 30, 2022 – The Gifts of Art Program is seeking submissions for solo and group art exhibits for the September 2022 to August 2023 exhibition year.

This value is reflected in the artwork we select for our galleries: art that welcomes, art that amplifies voices, and art that reflects the community we serve at Michigan Medicine. People of all races, ethnicities, ages, genders, sexual orientations, religions, beliefs, abilities, socioeconomic statuses and levels of education are welcome to apply.
