VIEWPOINT: A Student Artwork Showcase, Spring 2024

Exhibition description:

The exhibition will be presented as a virtual online gallery with image description and student artist’s statements.

Rules and process to exhibit:

1.  All students participating  must have a visual impairment. All grade levels PreK-12 may participate.

2.  Each student may submit one artwork. All media are accepted.

3.  The work must be the original creation of the student with minimal physical assistance from instructors. Collaborations among student artists are welcomed.

4.  The entry form at https://forms.office.com/r/TcGWv6Jt2w must be filled out.

5.  High-quality digital files should be emailed to Laura Schroeder at lschroeder@isbvik12.org. For 2-D and 3-D artworks, you may submit up to three images if necessary to show dimension and texture of the piece (different angles and/or close-ups). Video files should be submitted for video and installation artworks.

6.  The purpose of the exhibition is to showcase and celebrate student artwork. It is not a contest and our intention is to display all submitted artworks. There are no limitations on theme or content as long as the imagery is school-appropriate.

7.  Information is provided in the entry form about American Printing House’s annual national juried art exhibition and competition for artists who are visually impaired and blind, "APH Insights.” While our exhibition is not affiliated with American Printing House, we would like to make sure students and teachers are aware of this opportunity and we are happy to help in any way we can to support participation by Indiana students.
