ASA Call to Artists.pdf  Size: 2982 Kb

Wading Ashore presents an intersection between the different Asian and Asian American experiences that flow between us. Water is never still. It is an element that encourages a destination, far away. Sometimes it takes us to uncharted territories where it is capable of soothing or submerging, yet it casts us back to the shore. Still we always return to find something new-the ripples reflecting our voyage and propelling us forward.

We invite Asian students, faculty, staff, and alumni to submit artwork of any medium (physical, digital, video, etc.) inspired by water-its movement, its meaning, and its connection to your own personal voyage.

Selected artworks will be displayed in the Basch Gallery, (first floor at Larry Thompson Academic Center) from April 2-17, 2027.

Important dates:
Submissions close: January 14, 2027
Notification of selected artists: Mid-February
Gallery reception: April 2, 2027

If you are not submitting a digital artwork, please make sure you can bring your piece in person for the exhibition. For artwork guidelines and our AI policy, please check out the other document in the submission drive.
