VISUAL: an online exhibition
Vermilion invites submissions from members of the Catholic University community for a curated online exhibition. Visual is looking for multiple forms of visual art, including but not limited to:
- Paintings
- Photography
- Digital Art
- Costumes
- Pottery and ceramics
- Textile art and more!
Artists may send in up to two submissions for the virtual exhibition. Submissions for each work of art should be sent in individually, although up to five photos or media files may be submitted for each individual work of art. In other words, if you are submitting a painting and a piece of textile art, for example, you need to fill out the submissions form twice, once for the painting and once for the textile art.
Submissions are open to Catholic University undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, faculty, and staff. Selected works will be published as a virtual exhibition on the Vermilion site.
