Call Description

This exhibition will feature a diverse array of artwork, carefully selected to reflect the journal’s commitment to celebrating creativity and intellectual exploration.

Selected artists will have the opportunity to not only exhibit their work but also compete for a chance to have their pieces permanently installed in West Philadelphia. 

Application Requirements

To apply, artists may submit high-resolution images of up to 6 artworks per application (with titles, dimensions, and medium). They should also submit a brief artist statement (150-300 words). While not required, artists should indicate whether they would like to considered for permanent installation on Penn’s campus and/or in West Philadelphia.

Applications must be submitted by our extended July 31 deadline and will be reviewed by a panel of representatives from PJAS. Selected artists will be notified via email shortly thereafter. For those interested in permanently installing their artwork, the location and timing of the installation will be coordinated after the exhibition.

Eligibility Criteria

It is important that all submitted works are original creations by the artist and have not been previously exhibited at Penn. The artworks should resonate with the themes of creativity, intellectual exploration, and cultural impact that are central to PJAS.
