The IU Eskenazi Museum of Art has established a partnership with IU Health to bring IU student artists' work to the Bloomington Hospital.
IU student art is selected annually for display at IU Health Bloomington Hospital’s Regional Academic Health Center to be enjoyed by visitors and staff.
Submission is open to artists who are IU students at the junior, senior, and master's level. All work must be original and made by the artist or artist team. Collaborative works made between artists are eligible for submission.
Works must be 2-dimensional with minimum dimensions of 18 x 24 inches, maximum dimensions should not be larger than 36 x 48 (framed) inches. If submitting multiple works of art as part of a series that are intended to be installed together, smaller works will be considered. Artwork with any theme is eligible with the following stipulation: content not acceptable for view by individuals of all ages will not be accepted. Please refrain from nude figures, intense gore, and political content. Works should be gallery-ready and display good craftsmanship in order to be considered.
Students must submit the following to Keaton Evans-Black at kevansbl@iu.edu by Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. in order to be considered:

If your work is selected for installation, it must remain on display from January 2025 to January 2026. An honorarium will be given in the amount of $1200 to the selected artist. If the artwork was made by an artist team, the honorarium will be split evenly between artists.
The selected artist is responsible for hand delivering selected artwork to the Eskenazi Museum of Art. If the artwork is too large to fit in a standard vehicle, the artist may also be responsible for delivering the work of art to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, located off East Discovery Parkway, on a day arranged in coordination with Keaton Evans-Black. Specific installation dates will be coordinated closer to January 2025.
