The NMSU University Art Gallery invites artists of all levels, ages, and locations to submit digital files of original works in consideration for our UAG Biannual Banner Project. In conjunction with the exhibition opening of “Between Here and There,” the theme of this Banner Project asks artists to create pieces inspired by issues concerning borders and border culture.  The project’s objective is to create an outdoor gallery experience, which echoes the exhibition within the UAG.  All media are welcome, with no limitation on specific artist tools or techniques.  Marisa Sage, Curator of “Between Here and There” and Director of the UAG, the UAG Exhibition Review Board, and Julia Barello, Academic Department Head of the NMSU Department of Art – will all choose up to 6 artists whose works will be reproduced onto high-quality outdoor banners and hung on the banner systems installed on the outer walls of D.W. Williams Hall.  This is an exciting opportunity to have thousands of viewers see your works as they drive off interstate 10 or 25 down University Avenue past the campus of New Mexico State University.  A reception for the selected artist will be held in conjunction with the opening of “Between Here and There” on September 3, 2015, from 5-7pm.  The banners will be exhibited from September 3-Nov 7, 2015.
